“The divisional model will cultivate an exciting, engaging, and rigorous learning environment in which students become life-long learners through the usage of diverse pedagogy and the intentionality, development, and focus placed on curricular changes and co-curricular opportunities. This will allow students and faculty to achieve both personal and academic excellence.”

“There have already been collaborative efforts among several departments in HEM, and our proximity with each other will better facilitate and enhance our work for faculty and students. Our programs, in particular, lend themselves to providing a true Christian liberal arts education to those who enroll in one or more of our programs.”

“ There is a natural cohesiveness between natural and health sciences. This collaboration allows faculty to work together towards a curriculum model that capitalizes on these similarities, identifies overlaps, and leans into the professional strengths represented within the faculty team. It brings about an infusion of new energy and fresh ideas into the science-based majors and minors. It is always exciting to get more voices and expertise around the table! ”

“What excites me the most about this change and my new role is that our disciplines are interrelated and now we will have more opportunities to learn, grow, and develop together. We’ll continue building upon our strengths and sharing positive and innovative ideas that will enhance the learning of our students.”
