Why Work at Hartwick?  This is such a special, unique place.  I love working with our students.  A day does not go by that I am not impressed with the things our students are doing and studying.  When they tell me about their internships, research, study abroad trips, class work, I am always in awe.  This is a college where students don't get lost; our small average class size, our 11:1 student to faculty ratio tells you a lot about us.  But, once you visit and get the sense of community and friendliness that exists here, you get hooked and fall in love with Hartwick.
