My undergraduate experience at a small faith-based liberal-arts college had such a formative impact on my religious and intellectual development as a student and as a person that even as an undergraduate I knew I wanted to teach at a similar institution. The professors I had in college are now my models of how individuals can make a difference in students’ lives. Anderson University values the integration of faith, knowledge, and personal growth in and outside the classroom, and the opportunity to challenge my students to be their best selves in many areas of their lives is a profound and rewarding calling.
English is about thinking. No matter what career students have after graduation, they will need to use critical thinking skills.
