As an employee, you’ll be part of a university that is committed to integrating learning, research, and outreach within its Catholic tradition, seeking to develop not only competent professionals, but also socially responsible citizens. Wheeling promotes close student-faculty connections and encourages all members to grow both intellectually and ethically, to serve with compassion among diverse communities, and to lead by example. In such an environment, your work will matter — your contributions help sustain a culture where academic rigor, moral purpose, and service to others are not just ideals, but daily practice.
