Members of the arts faculty—performers, artists, teachers—have been drawn to the University by the unique synergy of cross-disciplinary research and creative engagement one finds both inside and outside of the classroom. They thrive and do their best work and teaching in this collaborative environment, where all the richness of the liberal arts becomes material for a painting, a play, a new musical composition.
