Meet Bucknell's New Full Professors

September 22, 2017

It's the goal every newly minted professor dreams of achieving: full professorship, the highest rank in the academic world. This year, Bucknell University promoted 14 outstanding faculty members to full professor, which honors scholarship and teaching at a superior level.

"Full professorship is the culmination of many years of sustained, intense work," said Provost Barbara Altmann. "This year, the University is pleased to confer the highest academic rank on an unusually large group of faculty members. It speaks to their shared dedication to excellence in teaching and scholarship, and demonstrates our deep commitment to development of intellectual capital at the University — our brain trust, if you will. These professors inspire their classes, advance scholarship in their fields, provide invaluable citizenship to the University, and mentor and lead younger faculty members by example."
