How to Give to Faculty
Faculty Chairs, Professorships, and Fellowships build the reputation of the school and are evidence of strong commitment to academic achievement. They foster a sense of tradition, and reward our best faculty with the tools to become more productive. In addition to providing year-round salary incentives for our most productive faculty, Chairs and Fellowships provide for support staff, research assistance, conference travel, and continuing education allowances.
To support the efforts of faculty and help us recruit, retain, and reward the faculty excellence that increases our standing and benefits our constituents, consider supporting one of the following options:
Endowed Chairs are awarded to deans, department chairs, and superior faculty to enhance their scholarly efforts and research. Minimum funding required to establish an endowed chair is $1,000,000.
Endowed Professorships are awarded to outstanding faculty members to reward and enhance scholarly efforts. Minimum funding required to establish an Endowed Professorship is $300,000.
Endowed Faculty Fellowships support excellent teaching faculty regardless of rank or tenure, including visiting scholars in residence. Minimum funding required to establish an Endowed Fellowship is $150,000.
Faculty Excellence Funds are flexible funds dedicated to promoting faculty research, teaching, and continuing education. They can be used to respond quickly to sudden opportunities that may arise, and are a key asset in a rapidly-changing business world. In conjunction with visionary leadership, Excellence Funds ensure we can fulfill our mandate to take the McCombs School to the next level of greatness. Minimum funding is $25,000.
