Courtesy Faculty

The Department has courtesy faculty who collaborate with the faculty members and students to support the department's mission. Courtesy faculty members have appointments in the university. Courtesy faculty often contribute to research through grant development, partnering with regular faculty to support joint research, and by providing research sites that offer additional training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Courtesy faculty also support graduate student training by advising graduate students and serving on committees.
