Faculty

Education is a lifelong pursuit. The tutors of Gutenberg College do not view themselves as people who have mastered the art of learning, but as more advanced students who can give helpful direction to those who are as yet less skilled. Gutenberg tutors feel fortunate to have a forum in which they can continue to learn while helping others to learn. The love of learning is one contagion the faculty hope will infect Gutenberg College and those who come in contact with it.
