Home Endowed Chair - The highest standards of achievement and support are reflected in the establishment of an endowed chair. Moneys from endowed chairs supplement salaries, research and those efforts which support research and excellence in teaching.
Chairs frequently carry the name of a donor or other honored person.
Currently, the chair established by Ross W. Wilson through gifts to the Foundation provides vital support in the disciplines of science and engineering. Endowed Professorship - Professorships supplement salaries for faculty who exhibit superior academic and teaching efforts. They may carry the name of a donor or other honored person, as does the Gene Edwards Professorship in Finance, funded with gifts from his associates and friends upon his retirement in 1984. In January of 1995, Stanley Marsh 3 and Wendy O'Brien Marsh established the Charmazel Dudt Professorship in Shakespearean Studies in honor of Dr. Dudt. Endowed Graduate Assistantship - Graduate assistants provide depth in every discipline and offer outstanding students an opportunity to pursue graduate studies while assisting with research and teaching under the guidance of an excellent faculty.
