Moravian’s
strong curriculum is reinforced by a scholarly, dedicated faculty. The influence of the
faculty on students is personal and immediate: Moravian faculty members—including
the most senior—teach freshman classes as well as upper-level classes. And the
scholarship and dedication of Moravian’s faculty creates a dialogue between teachers
and students with far-reaching results.
