Faculty, Teaching & Research

In CLA, research and discovery are the heart of effective teaching.

Our faculty are leaders in their disciplines, who tackle some of the most compelling issues we face. Their discoveries generate strategies and solutions for creating a better world. They embrace a culture of excellence to serve students, the college, the University, and the community.

While our graduate students develop their capacity to produce distinguished research and creative work, they also are instilled with a commitment to serve, lead, teach, and inspire future generations of students and professionals.

Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, service-learning, and other experiences, undergraduates are mentored by instructors and advanced students who can model the process of discovery and innovation inside and outside the classroom.
