English, Writing and Journalism Faculty Full Time

The teacher-student relationship is one of the English department's greatest strengths. Classes are taught by a committed and highly accomplished faculty who are enthusiastic about research and writing and publish frequently but who are particularly devoted to teaching and student development. In fact, English faculty members are frequent recipients of awards and grants in teaching, literature, creative writing and journalism. Small classes, close advising, individualized instruction, discussion-oriented seminars and writing workshops provide a personal atmosphere for learning. Students are encouraged to consult their advisor and teachers frequently and freely.
