About endowed positions

For centuries, endowed positions have been regarded as the hallmark of an institution's long-term commitment to academic advancement and an important recognition of faculty excellence. They are uniquely distinct in the way that they provide valuable support for the work of faculty members of the highest distinction.

At Boise State, endowed positions enable faculty to contribute to strategic initiatives, enhance efforts for faculty recruitment and retention, provide exceptional experience to students and bestow prestige on programs and the university at large.

Endowed positions are typically funded by the generosity of donors and often carry a donor's or special honoree's name, with the funds given sustaining the gift for years to come. In each case, an endowed position supports the awardee's teaching, research and service to the profession and institution.
