The college ethos is strongly invested in the educational and career success of our students. We are committed to fostering a spirit of camaraderie and shared ideals across the entire spectrum of our varied constituency. By accessing a first-class and affordable college education in an inclusive and nurturing intellectual milieu, our students acquire the skills, confidence, and global mindedness that allow them to thrive in a rapidly changing, unpredictable marketplace of ideas that is increasingly mindless of borders and spans the gamut of cultures and vernaculars. To this end, the college seeks faculty who are eager to engage with our student body and have a demonstrated commitment to student success through teaching, research and/or service.
