Generations of St. Norbert College students have been transformed by their interactions with professors who have been first and foremost dedicated teachers. In a lifetime, some students might have one or two great teachers; in a year, a St. Norbert student might have seven or eight. The special teacher—who offers time and personal attention, infectious enthusiasm, imaginative suggestion, well-earned wisdom and gentle encouragement—is commonplace for St. Norbert students.

St. Norbert’s commitment to academic excellence and a rigorous liberal arts curriculum necessitates a first-rate faculty of scholar-teachers. Opportunities for professional development and research, as well as competitive compensation and workloads, are essential for supporting the highest-quality faculty and maintaining the College’s highly personalized approach to student learning.

Indeed, one of the hallmarks of a St Norbert education is our high quality of student-faculty interaction. Our commitment to small class sizes, one-on-one learning and opportunities for student-faculty collaborative research requires a full-time faculty that is large relative to the size of our student body. A St. Norbert education is distinctive because it is so personal in nature—and providing students with such a unique learning environment is an expensive endeavor.

Your support will ensure that faculty members are supported in their efforts to advance their disciplines through scholarship and provide students with rich learning experiences.
