Endowed Professorships

Endowed professorships, and the accomplished scholars who hold them, are the foundation of an academic research institution. The prestige and resources professorships provide are fundamental to Michigan's ability to attract and retain the brightest, most talented faculty possible, a strength that translates into top medical education for our students, a robust program of biomedical research, and the provision of the latest advances in clinical care for our patients. Like students, faculty are attracted to those institutions best equipped to help them reach their professional goals, and where they are most likely to be associated with the most exciting colleagues and peers. Endowed professorships honor our best minds and make the U-M faculty stronger.

A gift to establish a named endowment provides income to support the department's mission in perpetuity. Whether to provide funding for research to combat a specific disease, to protect time for teaching and mentoring or to enhance clinical practice, such a gift will benefit patients, students and scientists for many years to come. It is a meaningful way to have ones name, or that of another family member, friend, or perhaps former teacher or mentor, associated in perpetuity with the University of Michigan. To learn more about establishing a named endowed professorship, please contact Director of Development John Perry at 866-860-0026.
