ENDOWED DEANSHIPS, CHAIRS AND PROFESSORSHIPS

¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ recognizes faculty who have demonstrated excellence in teaching, research and service through the Endowed Chairs Program. In honoring a faculty member with an endowed chair, we in effect charge them to be premier scholars, academic leaders, and models for other faculty. As they fulfill their obligations as chairholders, they produce value—in the classroom, laboratory, public venues and among their colleagues in their departments and colleges. Additional criteria for appointment include compatibility with the particular academic specifications established by the donor of the chair or professorship; and compatibility with and ability to contribute to the University's Catholic and Augustinian values and mission.
