Experienced Faculty

Our Faculty


Faculty choose to teach here for two main reasons: 

1) They are devoted to our mission and programs and
2) They find meaning in working closely with students to nurture their success.

Expect to spend about an hour in a private meeting with one of our core faculty every other week--or more if you wish.

Enjoy their bios.
