Faculty and administrators at Alverno are all working together toward the same goal — the student’s learning. And each faculty and staff member creates part of the total learning environment, whether it’s in a classroom or in an office.
Alverno faculty are widely known for their creative work. They are sought out by hundreds of colleagues each year for their insights and contributions to education in general and to their various fields in particular.
For a small college faculty they do a significant amount of consulting, making presentations at professional conferences, hosting workshops, and publishing.
The work they are known for is their teaching. They are people who love to make learning happen, and who have become expert in doing it. They come with strong professional backgrounds so that they can speak with authority in their disciplines. But what they choose to speak about is how their disciplines relate to one another, and to the crucial process of human learning.
Because they are growing themselves, and because the frontiers they explore are in the classroom rather than in a private lab or study, they make Alverno a lively place to be. They are teachers — master learners — working hard, and working together.
