To achieve our mission as a liberal arts college, we strive to foster a welcoming campus community, which recognizes the value of all persons. Our department is committed to preparing our students for engaged citizenship by creating a positive learning and working environment for all through open and substantive dialogue. We welcome applications from candidates that would contribute to the University's mission and Strategic Plan.
