Faculty

The faculty of the Robertson School of Government hold doctoral degrees in American government, political science, public administration, law and leadership studies. As scholars and practitioners in their fields they have authored numerous books and journal articles and are active participants in their respective professional associations. They consult with government executives and political staffs and engage in cooperative research activities with public policy think tanks.

Our faculty offer commentary and analysis through print, television and other media and are available to speak at your next public or private event via our Speakers Bureau. Their most important role, however, is their calling to equip students to be skilled, ethical leaders in their respective vocations.
