Faculty & Staff

Welcome. Here, we are all learners.

“When students are able to see themselves in the curriculum, it uplifts them in every way. I became hooked on teaching, on the joy of working with students and engaging them in the stories and histories of their respective communities, in their contributions, not just here in Washington, but nationally.”
Dr. Tyson Marsh
