Chairs & Professorships
Great professors are at the core of every great university. Their expertise and passion translate into the creation of knowledge that transmits to next generations through their teaching. Private support to endow and name a chair, professorship, or faculty fellow has tremendous impact – enabling the university to attract and retain the highest caliber of faculty. The Tickle College of Engineering is proud to recognize the donors who have created these funds and to applaud the faculty named to receive them.
