Welcome

Consistent with our identity as the National Public Honors College, the faculty at SMCM are committed to excellence in teaching and are accomplished artists and scholars. They share their expertise and talents in local, regional, national, and international venues, and of course, with our engaged and diverse student community.  Led by Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, Dr. Katherine Gantz, the Division of Academic Affairs serves the faculty and academic staff as they provide the SMCM educational experience.

Academic Affairs includes the academic departments and programs, the Hilda C. Landers Library, the Boyden Gallery & Collections, the Center for Inclusive Teaching and Learning, the Center for the Study of Democracy, the Office of International Education, the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs, the Registrar's Office, and the Writing and Speaking Center.  The division is also responsible for hiring, mentoring, and various forms of faculty review, as well as the instructional and administrative staff for our academic programs.   Information about the division’s resources, responsibilities and structures is included in these web pages.
