Endowed Chairs

Endowed chairs celebrate the sustained excellence and/or the potential for such excellence of Illinois Institute of Technology’s best and brightest faculty scholars, and provide resources to accelerate and maximize their impact. These titles not only honor the donor and bring distinction to the faculty member, but they also support, through salary and/or discretionary funding enabled by either an endowment or donor-specified current-use funds, continued growth and excellence in the scholar’s research/teaching/engagement activities.
