Impact on Faculty Florida State University is fortunate to have a dedicated and distinguished faculty. Some of the most prominent scholars in several fields already provide the influence and leadership that make the best students even better. Understandably, attracting and retaining excellent faculty remains a priority at Florida State University. However, competition for outstanding faculty is intense. The following are areas where philanthropy can make the greatest difference to faculty at FSU: Eminent Scholar Chairs
Eminent Scholar Chairs allow FSU to bring internationally distinguished scholars to the university faculty. Both students and younger faculty can study with these leaders, creating interactions that elevate the educational experience. Professorships
Professorships are among the most respected and sought after positions in higher education. FSU seeks to endow professorships in all colleges to help it attract and retain top teaching professionals. Income from the endowment contributes to their compensation and scholarly activities. Lectureships
Support of lectureships enables FSU to engage leading speakers from around the world to address students, faculty, community professionals and friends on such key issues as policy, ethics and cutting-edge research. Private giving enables FSU to compete on a national level. Your gifts increase the funds available for staffing the University with the best faculty, primarily by creating new endowed chairs and professorships.
