Many people assume that all college professors like to teach. But some professors prefer large, research-oriented universities, where they can concentrate solely on their own scholarly activities. That's fine, for those professors and those institutions. But it's not fine for Union, and it's not fine for undergraduates who want to work closely with their teachers in shaping their education.
Union places great emphasis on teaching.
Our 189 faculty members have been chosen because they like to teach, and they excel in their fields of interest. Professor of Biology Grant Brown says that if the answer is yes, we can increase the odds of fish surviving into adulthood. He and his student researchers are focusing on the evolution of chemical communication in fish, trying to condition fish to seek cover when danger is near. If his system proves successful, it could have a worldwide impact on the supply of fish. What underlies these and other areas of sharing is our belief that a vital part of education is working together.
