Leadership & Faculty

“Our staff and our student body and our faculty are diverse in a lot of ways. Not just theoretically, not just experientially, but from a cultural standpoint. We are a very diverse faculty.” — Dr. Eric Beeson, Core Faculty

“From the moment I turned in my first paper, I was astonished at the quality of feedback I received. I am a more fluent academic and more proficient communicator because of this program.” — Raquel Atkins ’21
