Faculty or Staff Member

The Heart of the Herd

Professor Roberts assists students while they work on projects.

Dedication that’s valued.

At the heart of the Herd, there’s you: a faculty or staff member committed to the Mastodon community. You lead with determination, teach with expertise, and guide with compassion, all while supporting students—and each other.

Dedicated People

More than a university, more than a place to work—Purdue Fort Wayne is a community. As part of the Herd, faculty and staff put their hearts into supporting our students and each other to fulfill our vision: to empower every person, every day, to improve our world.
