Welcome

Everyone in the Dean of Faculty's office at Claremont McKenna College is committed to the pursuit of excellence. We share a common desire to work closely with our distinguished teacher-scholars and support them in their important work.

Each member of the faculty believes that we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to advance the interests of our students by training them to become enlightened leaders in the fields they choose to pursue.

As you browse our new office site, we hope you will discover new information and resources. Scrolling through these pages will help you learn about our exceptional faculty, our high quality of faculty governance, and the outstanding units that comprise our office. If you are a prospective student, take a moment to learn more about our faculty and the exciting courses they teach.

Our greatest resource is the people who teach our courses, the people who manage the units in our office, and, of course, our highly accomplished students. Our professors enjoy a world-class reputation for their work and our wonderful students go on to bridge the worlds of the liberal arts and professional success.

The Dean of Faculty's Office aspires to provide the best service and environment for faculty and students. Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
