Faculty and Staff
The Sociology faculty are deeply committed to high quality undergraduate teaching. Since we do not have a graduate program, undergraduates are our only focus. Therefore, we offer a welcoming, student-centered atmosphere, and our students typically tell us how much they appreciate the attention Sociology faculty and staff show them inside and outside the classroom.

This letter was received from a 2011 graduate after noticing that three of his professors were in attendance at his graduation ceremony:
Hello,
I just wanted to say thanks to each one of you for coming out to the Graduation Ceremony. It meant a lot to see you three from the Sociology Department to come out of your busy schedules to celebrate the graduation ceremony. I can easily say that you three, from my college career, have been lasting influences on me and for the rest of the graduating sociology majors in the class of 2011.
I can’t go about my daily life without thinking about the importance of social structures, how norms operate in our daily lives, and much more. Sociology has opened my mind to the world and I am glad I chose this for my major. You three have been very passionate about the courses you taught throughout my college career and I will never forget the openness you shared toward the students opinions.
Thank You,
Shawn Taylor ’11
Sociology and Mass Communication Major
President Of Delta Tau Delta, Gamma Nu
