Endowed Professorships and Chairs

Endowed faculty appointments signify a level of accomplishment by the faculty member so honored. An endowed chair or professorship is an academic distinction bestowed upon a scholar of either national or international reputation. Such a faculty member has demonstrated scholarly distinction and leadership in an academic discipline. An endowed faculty fellowship recognizes young or mid-level scholars of exceptional potential, who have either begun to make headway on the national scene or are on the verge of gaining national attention.
