Wilkes University has added 13 new faculty members to its ranks for the fall semester, strengthening programs across three of its colleges. The hires span the Bing K. Wong College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Engineering, and the College of Health and Education.

The new instructors bring a range of academic and professional experience to the classroom. Their appointments reflect the university's ongoing effort to expand course offerings and keep pace with student demand in fields such as health sciences, business, and the liberal arts.

Administrators said the additions will help reduce class sizes in several departments and support new academic initiatives. Each faculty member will begin teaching this semester, with some also taking on advising and research responsibilities.

The university has not yet released a full list of the new hires or their specific departments. Officials said additional details about their backgrounds and areas of expertise will be shared in the coming weeks.

Wilkes continues to recruit faculty as part of a broader push to enhance academic quality and student support on campus.
