Our classes challenge students to think critically, create boldly, and connect their learning to the world. We are especially eager to welcome a colleague whose work demonstrates a commitment to teaching business as both a passionate practice and a way of engaging students to think critically.

Because McDaniel College is a student-centered community, our faculty are not only dedicated educators and active scholars, but also important ambassadors for their disciplines and for the college. We seek faculty who enjoy connecting with students at all stages of their academic journey, including prospective and newly admitted students, as part of building a vibrant and inclusive intellectual community. In this spirit, faculty partner with their departments and the Office of Admissions to represent McDaniel to prospective students, share the excitement of their discipline, and help admitted students envision themselves thriving in our classrooms and across campus.
