Five new faculty members join the Transylvania University community as the 2023-24 school year kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These exceptional professors bring to campus fresh perspectives from varied backgrounds \u2014 along with expertise in teaching, research and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are delighted to welcome our new faculty to Transylvania,” said Rebecca Thomas, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the university. “They are joining a lively intellectual community with a strong commitment to excellent teaching, and I look forward to seeing the ways in which they will enrich the academic experience of our students.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re getting to know a campus that embodies a strong dedication to education. A recent example of the support Transylvania shows its faculty is a $25 million, 15-year grant to fund up to 12 Bingham Endowed Chairs for Teaching Excellence. The Bingham Fund for Excellence in Teaching at Transylvania approved the grant this past May<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
