This endowed chair is expected to develop collaborative, transdisciplinary internal and external partnerships, innovative educational experiences and curricula, and participate in recruiting and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in addition to faculty members. In support of this appointment, the endowed chairs will be granted one course release and $25,000 to procure equipment, provide student support, or for summer salary. Finally, continued participation as a full member of their regular department by attending departmental faculty meetings, advising graduate and undergraduate students, and interacting with other department members is required.
