Our Faculty

You’ll go far with mentors like these by your side.
Converse faculty support research

Converse faculty are the mentors you’ll call your own as a Converse University student. You won’t find access to these great minds anywhere else.

Our faculty are committed to providing transformative learning experiences for our students. They are also practicing professionals, international performers, and award-winning authors, artists, scholars and researchers. We have faculty lecturing on biomedical ethics in Iceland, bringing cutting-edge technology to opera, and landing half-million-dollar grants to improve research facilities right here on campus.

Converse faculty provide deep scholarship, transformative mentorship, experiential learning, and support for students – and each other.

Faculty Spotlights

Professor Meg Hanna-Tominaga

“We craft the experiences each student has to help them pursue the exact career they’re interested in.”

Dr. Jessica Williams

“I wanted to be in a community where faculty and students talk to each other outside of the classroom.”
