Meet Our Faculty & Staff

Jeff Symonds, Nathalio Gray, and Jenni Diaz lead Faculty and Staff in a procession at graduation 2026.

Our faculty and staff are an integral part of what makes Branson, Branson.

They love chemistry and the process of crafting a thesis. They love the art of language and the logic of solving equations. They bake and scuba dive. They salsa dance and paint. They are leaders in their fields and expert practitioners at what they do. They’ll challenge and stretch you and cheer you on –  even when you fail.                 

Branson faculty and staff are devoted to our students, and passionate about excellence in education. 88% of our faculty hold advanced degrees, and 44% of our faculty and staff self-identify as people of color.
