About Eberly
Endowed Positions
Endowed chairs, professorships, fellowships, and lectureships allow the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences to recruit and retain outstanding teachers, scholars, and researchers. Endowed faculty positions — and the impact of their research — would not be possible without generous philanthropic support.
Beyond acknowledging and rewarding their contributions to their respective fields, an endowed position offers these distinguished scholars the financial support they need. This includes a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and crucial research funding, enabling them to pursue their life's work with dedication and excellence.
Every gift invested by ECAS alumni and friends strengthens our College.
Contact our Development Office staff to discuss any interest
you may have in making a gift to College.
