Our People

 

The heart of SEM's community is

our faculty and staff.

 

The Buffalo Seminary Faculty and Staff

 

Each person on our team contributes something unique to the academic program and culture of SEM. The administration is dedicated and present for the students and community, offering daily support, thoughtful guidance through challenges, and celebration of accomplishments. Our faculty members are passionate and knowledgeable about the topics they teach, and most hold advanced degrees, including several Ph. Ds. The Fine Arts teachers are all working artists, who bring their enthusiasm and love for art to the classroom and bring the students into the community to experience art, in all its forms, for themselves. And our coaches and advisors create opportunities for every goal to be achieved. Scroll down to learn more about the wonderful people of SEM.
