Eighteen faculty members had lunch with members of the board of trustees on April 15, discussing their scholarship and the ways they involve students and bring their work into the classroom.
Jeffrey Pugh, professor of religion, spoke at the luncheon, and praised his colleagues for their work. “They are not only committed to extending the knowledge of their discipline, they are vitally engaged in bringing their students on that journey with them,” Pugh said. “They know that the journey of learning is a life-long effort and they desire to inspire our students for that journey. The evidence is ample that they do bring their students into the conversation.”
