Endowed chairs

Endowed chairs are prestigious faculty positions funded by a dedicated financial gift or donation. The endowment’s investment income supports the salary and research activities of the appointed professor, allowing them to focus on specialized teaching, research, and scholarly work. These chairs help attract and retain outstanding experts in their fields, foster academic excellence, and often advance the institution’s goals or priorities. Essentially, an endowed chair provides stable, long-term financial support that enhances the university’s academic quality and reputation.
