Each faculty member at Tusculum University is an integral part of teaching and mentoring students and enacting the University\u2019s mission, which is as follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding on a rich Presbyterian heritage and a pioneering spirit, Tusculum University provides an active and experiential education within a caring Christian environment to inspire civic engagement, enrich personal lives, and equip career-ready professionals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In support of that mission, faculty should advance all components of the mission statement. This includes the university\u2019s faith-based tradition, which emphasizes closeness of faculty-student involvement, both within and without the classroom, in order to cultivate citizenship, Christian character and practical wisdom among members of the University community. As a part of that mission, the university is committed to creating a campus climate in which the Christian faith is reasonably and persuasively presented and in which the university offers a program of quality education in the liberal arts and sciences with the concept of the wholeness of life as interpreted by the Christian faith.<\/p>\n With that in mind, faculty are responsible for providing quality in-class instruction, mentoring students outside the classroom, serving on university committees, and engaging in other service that helps to further the University\u2019s mission. Tusculum faculty are responsible for teaching a minimum of 12-15 credits (pending rank) in each of the fall and spring semesters, advising, service, scholarship, and professional development.<\/p>\n EDUCATION\/EXPERIENCE:<\/p>\n ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:<\/p>\n OTHER DUTIES: Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required of the employee for this job.
