▼   Endowed Chair
An endowed chair is among the most prestigious and meaningful gifts that can be made to an academic institution. Funds provided by an endowed chair are used to attract and retain nationally or internationally recognized scholars or researchers. An endowed chair may provide full salary or a salary supplement and fringe benefits for the recipient of the chair, for support staff, or other expenses related to the position.
▼   Endowed Visiting Professorship and/or Scholar
This fund is used to attract prominent scientists to join the faculty in the School for a semester or academic year. The program enhances the reputation of the School and provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn new techniques and familiarize themselves with theories and lines of thought. Faculty nominate leading scientists outside the University to be in residence to solve critical problems.
