FACULTY VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

The English program is designed to develop and strengthen student skills in both written and spoken language. Emphasis is given to the essentials of English, the nature of the language, writing as communication, and imaginative literature as a vitalizing and humanizing experience. By providing all students with a solid foundation in reading, composition, and critical thinking, English Department courses help students achieve college-level proficiency by enabling them to use language as a tool for expressing ideas, thinking analytically and creatively in academic and career contexts, and read literature with sensitivity and enjoyment.
