Faculty member's research efforts significantly enhance the University's academic programs. Faculty members may teach one semester of a major course or lecture periodically in areas of their specialty. Additionally, they may supervise students at various levels in related research projects and participate in seminars and conferences. Students indirectly benefit from faculty involvement in their respective departments through colleagueship and enrichment of their research discipline.
