» Wilkinson College Faculty

Wilkinson College faculty and administration work together to provide a challenging, interactive, and dynamic learning environment. Our professors infuse their classes with the most advanced knowledge in the disciplines and heighten the learning experience with co-curricular opportunities and mentoring.

Faculty advisors guide students through their academic journeys with student-faculty collaborative research, study abroad, internships, capstone courses, and individual study.

As mentors, teachers, scholars, club advisors, research collaborators, and campus leaders, our faculty expand what we know about the world and model civic engagement for our community members.

Our faculty is committed to advancing academic research, improving health care, generating cultural understanding, protecting the environment, and creating technical and social change.

In 1993, Chapman began a tradition of honoring endowed chair gifts to provide a unique means of donor recognition and also help beautify the campus. When an individual, family or organization funds a chair, they are given the opportunity to select a renowned figure (see picture on right) representing their field of study supported by their gift. Chapman then commissions a bust of that figure, and the donor selects an appropriate aphorism to be engraved on the pedestal.

Dr. Marilyn Harran, Stern Chair in Holocaust Education
