Provost's Message to the Faculty
In a message delivered to the faculty in December of 2014, Provost Joel Martin, Ph.D., encouraged ongoing dialogue about how faculty at Franklin & Marshall College can continue to be energized by the evolving student body. The provost said, in part: "Because of our success in implementing a talent strategy for F&M, our faculty now has an original opportunity that other faculties at many leading liberal arts college do not have so palpably, personally, and persistently. Our faculty can rethink how they teach and what they teach and why it matters in dialogue with students who collectively more closely resemble the future of our country and world. "
