Our Faculty
The Intersection of Passion and Expertise
Our professors are Peacocks, too. They’re people of uncommon dedication: their doors are always open, whether It’s to talk about the next assignment or life in general; they have lunch and dinner with their students and point them to majors and career paths they didn’t know existed; they’ll literally walk students to opportunities and resources on campus. Our faculty’s high expectations for their students, and the pride they take in helping them, becomes the foundation for a lifelong sense of accomplishment and impact.
