Mildred Saffell-Smith, Ph.D. Four full-time faculty/administrators at Cumberland University have regular teaching assignments in this master's degree program. They are Drs. Collier, Heifner, McKee and Saffell-Smith. Each of these individuals was carefully chosen to instruct in the M.S.P. degree program because of both personal interest and professional preparation.
Four part-time faculty have regular teaching responsibilities in this degree program, and because of their educational backgrounds and specific employment positions, each brings a specialized expertise to the learning experiences of M.S.P. graduate students. Dr. Chappell is a professional statistician with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County; Dr. Farris is a Vice President of the Baptist Hospital in Nashville; Dr. Jones is the Administrative Service Manager of the Department of Codes of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County; and Dr. Lee is an administrative law judge for the State of Tennessee. The University views this combination of full-time employees and daily practitioners as a major strength of the program.
