Empowering Faculty

Endowed Faculty Positions

Support is needed to grow full-time faculty positions in the Honors College. The priority is an endowed chair position which will ensure a focus on developing and sustaining a distinctive and creative curriculum, experiential course development and engaged research.

Faculty/Admin support

Endowments signal support for faculty in their creative work and impact the lives and education of current and future students. Launching innovative faculty-endowed positions in Music Therapy, Arts and Medicine, and interdisciplinary arts, allow students to engage across disciplines. Gifts will also help to secure a Director of Galleries position to oversee gallery spaces and manage the TU Art Collection.

Endowed Chair and Professorship: Psychology Doctoral Program

Funding for an endowed faculty-leader position will support the creation of a new psychology doctoral program. In addition to course and laboratory study, with funding, the program will operate an on-campus laboratory and provide faculty the opportunity for original research. The addition of a doctorate in psychology program will position TU as a leader in the state of Maryland and support the University’s goal to expand research output and contributions to scholarship.

Endowed Chairs and Professorships

Endowing department chair positions or professorships ensures that the positions exist in perpetuity. With naming opportunities available, the College of Business and Economics is seeking endowed chairs and professorships in the departments of Accounting, Business Analytics & Technology Management, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing.

Faculty Research Funding– Support for faculty research awards offsets the direct costs of research studies, projects and feasibility studies. Much of the faculty research that is conducted is done in collaboration with students which means support in this area also directly benefits students and makes real-world learning opportunities possible.
