We are living in the most rapidly changing times in the history of the world. This period may be known in history as the revolution of knowledge. These changes present challenges to young people greater than any other generation has faced. They also present great opportunities, probably greater than any generation has faced.

These faculty members have advanced degrees from the leading universities of this country and several foreign countries. The past success of Weber's graduates attests to the professional competence of the faculty members. They offer to the students a high quality of educational opportunities and personal assistance.
