One of the most powerful tools for attracting and retaining excellence in educational leader is the endowed faculty chair or professorship. Renowned faculty attract other first-rate clinicians and scientists, as well as the most promising students. Distinguished chair and professorship holders also generate external support from public and private sources, bringing added prestige to the School and reducing the School’s dependence on tuition and fees.
