Faculty members will be assured of competitive compensation and the resources necessary for all that they do. Endowing faculty chairs will recognize academic distinction and allow Westminster to recruit and retain the finest teachers. Increasing funds for professional development, additional travel grants and a new sabbatical program will permit teachers to seek intellectual and professional challenges that can translate into new insights carried over to classrooms and all aspects of community life.
Westminster has always prided itself on the outstanding quality of its faculty and the influential relationships those faculty have with the students in their care. Alumni across generations have pointed to the impact faculty have had on their lives, often recalling life-changing academic growth and character development.
A Westminster faculty member’s commitment extends well beyond the class day. They coach athletes on the playing field, direct actors in the theater, facilitate conversations during family-style meals and answer a lingering classroom question over a late-night snack in a dormitory common room. Faculty members at Westminster get to know students in multiple ways and, thus, impart lessons in both formal and informal settings. In turn, students always know that their teachers, coaches, advisors and corridor supervisors will be there to support them, not only when they succeed but also when they struggle.
The campaign honors the faculty’s commitment to enriching young people’s lives by going above and beyond.
