Endowed Positions
两性色午夜 University's rising stature among the nation鈥檚 best public research universities depends on the success and achievements of our faculty. Perpetual support allows faculty to advance their work, assist in research, purchase equipment and push the boundaries of the unknown for generations to come.
An endowed position (often a professorship or chair) is permanently supplemented by the revenue generated from an endowed fund, created thanks to the generosity of donors. Endowed chairs and professorships also often provide the holder with additional funds for research, equipment or other support. Endowed positions are crucial for recruiting and retaining the highest-quality faculty, and donor support for endowed positions makes a lasting impact on the university and our students.
Our goal is to double the number of endowed chairs and professorships across our campuses.
