We combine dedication to teaching with commitment to research. Each faculty member has an active research program involving our students, from field work through data analysis, and all the way to presentation and publication. Our administrative assistant Pat Acosta somehow maintains smooth running of the department, constant availability of hot chocolate and dog biscuits, and the bottomless candy jar.
