My first experience at Principia was as a college student. I gained a spiritual sense of family that stayed with me while raising our two children. I wanted to give back to the institution that gave me a true sense of home and purpose and share my love of Principia with others.

In my twentieth year as a faculty member at Principia School, I am more convinced than ever that the kind of character education that we offer is needed in today's society.  I get to do this through outdoor, experiential education which is as impactful as it is fun!

The reason that I love my job at Principia College is simple: team.  I coach basketball and I do it because I love teams.  I love collaboration, unselfishness and sharing.  Working at Principia is a dream to me because every where on campus and every one on campus works on one common goal and that is making the student experience the best possible.  And they do it as a team.  I love that concept.

Sarah Ware
Sarah – College Registrar’s Office

It’s the first time I’ve worked in a community where people actively strive to lift one another up. It feels genuine and sincere, not fake or put on. I cherish that.

Matthew
Matthew – College Faculty, Economics

I enjoy working at Principia College because of the international feel of the institution. Not only does the college’s overall mission have a global reach, but even a casual walk across campus can be an international experience. I have heard it said that the campus often feels like a major airport. I concur.
