This fall we are welcoming fourteen new faculty members to the AUC community! The incoming faculty are bringing their diverse backgrounds and varied research interests to AUC, with studies ranging from food assistance programs to climate responsive design to jazz pedagogy and everything in between. We’re happy to welcome them to the University and get to know them through their video introductions.
Our new faculty members are arriving to campus this fall with fresh perspectives, unique experiences, and hands-on knowledge! Find out about what each new faculty member plans to bring to the AUC community.
