Supported Professorships

The Supported Professorships honor faculty who have demonstrated superior teaching and involvement of students in the learning process; superior advisement, both formal and informal; a visible and meaningful involvement in campus life; and an active scholarly life.

Faculty who are awarded one of the professorships are provided with a $6,000 annual grant for the term of their three-year appointment, the privilege, as a part of their normal teaching load, to design and teach one course of their choosing during one year of the Professorship, and the responsibility of delivering one College-wide lecture on a topic of their choice during the third year of their Professorship. 

Nominations are welcomed by the campus community. The recipients are chosen by a selection committee and receive their award and congratulations at the annual Academic Affairs Fall Festival.
