Religious Studies Faculty

At Stetson, the Religious Studies faculty includes dedicated teachers with specialized training in a variety of areas. While all of the faculty members are primarily classroom teachers committed to helping students learn, they are also recognized scholars who are continually improving their expertise through research and writing.

In recognition of Religious Studies faculty accomplishments, three of our faculty have received Stetson University's Hand Award for Faculty Research. One has received the Hand Award for Community Impact and two have been awarded the McEniry Award for Excellence in Teaching.
