Endowed academic chairs and professorships recognize, recruit, and retain the highest caliber faculty members. They are enduring tributes to the donors who establish them.
"Endowments provide resources for us to pursue new, unexplored ideas."
—Ed Robinson, inaugural Matilda R. Wilson Chair
At Michigan State University, an endowed chair provides financial and physical resources for the recipient, who may fund graduate students, support staff, travel, and other research-related expenses.
The independent financing of endowed research assures stability and continuity for the faculty member and the university.
