Meet our new faculty

Tenure-track faculty

Lafayette is welcoming 19 tenure-track faculty members this 2024-25 academic year who bring diverse backgrounds and perspectives to inspire students in the College’s intimate learning environment, continuing a nearly 200-year tradition of strong student-faculty mentorship. 

“I had vibrant conversations with this group of world-class scholars and teachers in August while welcoming them to the Lafayette community,” Provost Laura McGrane says. “These faculty members bring new energy, scholarly approaches, and perspectives to our campus, and I can’t wait for our students to get the chance to work with them.”
