Faculty profile pages

These professional pages list a faculty member's title, department/program, office location and email address, with sections for teaching and research interests, academic credentials and other pertinent information.

Profile pages are often prospective students' introduction to the College’s accomplished faculty. Current students and parents, peer institutions, alumni, and local and national media may visit these pages as well. It is therefore extremely important that they are accurate and up-to-date.
