The Lynch School introduces five new faculty members
This semester, the Lynch School of Education and Human Development welcomes five outstanding new faculty members, each dedicated to transforming lives through teaching, research, and service. With interests ranging from critical consciousness and Catholic education to college readiness, these exceptional scholars will help us advance the Lynch School’s mission of enhancing the human condition, expanding the imagination, and making the world more just.
Although grounded in the 500-year-old Jesuit tradition of formative education, the Lynch School remains at the forefront of research and pedagogy, developing new knowledge, addressing social challenges, and, through our expanding online course offerings, reaching students around the world.
