The award winning faculty dominate Carnegie/CASE honors

Eleven members of the Lyon faculty have been selected as Arkansas Professor of the Year in  the past sixteen years. Over 90% of the members of the Lyon faculty hold the highest degree in their field.

Members of the Lyon faculty are devoted teacher-scholars. Each faculty member brings to the classroom a commitment to providing a liberal arts education of superior quality in a personalized setting. In this spirit, each faculty member not only provides his/her students with a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of a specific discipline, but also of the interconnections between that discipline and the other fields of study offered by the College. The result is an educational experience of exceptional breadth (interdisciplinary) and depth (major field of study).  To attain depth themselves, Lyon faculty regularly publish articles and books in their fields.

Faculty members are committed to providing Lyon students with significant scholarly and internship experiences. Thus members of the faculty seek to involve students in their research and creative activities and encourage presentation of their scholarship at professional conferences. Lyon faculty members additionally understand the importance of quality academic advising, including advising students on prospective graduate programs and career opportunities. Faculty members also appreciate the learning that takes place outside the classroom and seek to further that learning by advising an array of student organizations. Members of the Lyon faculty are no less known for their community service.
