Faculty perspective

"I love the family atmosphere of the faculty, and the willingness to help colleagues across disciplines. I continue to be humbled by the complete and selfless cooperation I have received from faculty members who have answered my requests to visit with my media classes over the years (faculty and staff from the Rec Plex, the athletic department, religious studies to name a few). I also love the direction that the university has taken in the area of diversity (faculty and student recruitment)."
