A Message from the Dean of Faculty
It is with great pleasure and pride that I welcome to Lindenwood University some of the finest educators in the country. Our
new faculty members hail from all parts of the world—from Ohio to California, from Iran to China and beyond. They have
degrees from some of the most prestigious universities in the world, and their impressive pedagogical experiences promise to add
significantly to this liberal arts Teaching University.
Lindenwood’s continued growth, with 11 campus sites throughout the region and robust programs for traditional and adult
learners, has given us the opportunity to add so many imminently qualified full-time faculty members to our extended
community. These new professors will soon recognize what our dedicated faculty members have long known—that Lindenwood
University provides the kind of supportive and creative environment that leads to the very best in classroom teaching. Our focus
is on the student. Academic initiatives, research projects, and support services are all student-centered.
I can think of no better group of educators to enlighten our students than those profiled in this booklet.
