Whitman College is one of the nation’s premier liberal arts colleges. As such, we seek to cultivate the ideal of the teacher-scholar, an ideal that calls for faculty members to strive to meet rigorous standards of excellence in our classrooms as well as in our professional activities. This ideal also presupposes that faculty members who are engaged in professional activities, who are actively engaged in the production of knowledge and forms of creative performance, are better teachers than would otherwise be the case. As such, they provide to our students models of what it means to cultivate and sustain a lifetime of intellectual curiosity, careful reflection, and critical inquiry. Indeed, as this document makes clear, many Whitman College faculty members now incorporate students directly into their professional activities; and we have indicated when that is the case by noting the graduation dates of all students who have been so employed (e.g., Smith ’14). The specific purpose of this resource is to acknowledge the many forms of scholarship in which we are individually and often collectively engaged. It is our hope that the audiences for this guide will be our colleagues here at Whitman and elsewhere; governing board members; prospective donors; the interested public, including media representatives who may wish to draw on our forms of specialized expertise; as wells as students, past, present and future. Perhaps most importantly, we hope that this resource serves to celebrate the research, the writing, the performances, the exhibitions, and the other scholarly pursuits in which Whitman faculty members are actively engaged. That end will be accomplished if this resource exemplifies and animates the vital forms of intellectual and creative exchange that define who we are as well as what we do at Whitman College.
