The faculty at Georgia Southern is very collegial. When people ask us what we do as faculty and what we do in the classroom, teaching is one of those types of things where we want the student to not only grasp the concepts but able to own the concepts.
At Georgia Southern, we believe we're a teaching-first institution, we have a chance to really get to know the students, both in the classroom and outside the classroom. Qualifications for faculty here are to be excellent teachers. And we have colleagues that are really great in the classroom, but also excellent researchers. Many of our faculty involve students in their research, even as undergraduates.
I would say the faculty at Georgia Southern in general is very welcoming. They're very inclusive. I've never seen anyone not get an answer about any issue that they have. You know, and I know especially on this campus, we pride ourselves in that. "I will work until I get you an answer," and I know everyone else that I work with is the same.
We take our passion, we take our knowledge, and we try to find a very inviting, interactive way to be able to get the students to be able to grasp the concepts.
