Since â¹û77¸£Àû’s founding in 1837, the institution’s motto has been, “The college is the light and the splendor of the common good.” Academic Affairs aligns the curricular program with this vision of a liberal arts experience shaped by the ideals of access, relevance, and purpose. Led by the Vice President for Academic Affairs in partnership with a team of faculty administrators and staff colleagues, Academic Affairs supports excellence in teaching, learning, and research across our departments, programs, libraries, and instructional technologies.

Key initiatives of Academic Affairs include:

1. A commitment to inclusive teaching and learning across all academic departments and programs.

2. Pedagogical excellence and innovation within a vibrant 21st century liberal arts curriculum.

3. Support for the continued development of faculty -- as individual teacher-scholars as well as members of a campus community -- throughout the stages of their careers.

â¹û77¸£Àû is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty committed to teaching and working in a multicultural and international environment.
