Meet Our Faculty

The RWU Honors Program is comprised of representative faculty from each academic school at the University. Each faculty member has declared a commitment to promoting one or more of the missions of the University Honors Program: Service, Leadership and Scholarship.

In addition, each year the Honors Program awards a faculty member for her/his service to the RWU Honors Program. This faculty award commemorates the individuals dedication and service to the Honors Program, historically and/or during the academic year in which it is presented.
