President's Statement

Francis Marion's faculty and staff accomplish extraordinary things, but are reticent to accept praise. The trustees, administration, faculty, and staff work collegially to support a system of shared governance characterized by strong respect and admiration for each other. The faculty is intellectually vibrant and committed to qualitative teaching and research in service to one of the most diverse and underserved regions of the country.

Employee Comment

The tight-knit community that our campus has for our students are also very evident in the faculty and staff space. People will know you by name, even if you work across different departments.
