Faculty Support

Living Legacy

At the heart of Oregon State University's pursuit of excellence are faculty: scholars and scientists who advance knowledge while teaching, challenging, and guiding students. These are the men and women in whom OSU's educational mission lives and breathes.

There is no more effective means of enabling OSU to compete in recruiting and retaining top academic talent than by establishing endowed faculty positions.

Recognizing outstanding faculty
Meet the holders of OSU's endowed faculty positions along with the visionary donors who created these endowments.

The Provost’s Faculty Match Program
Donors partipating in the first phase of the innovative Provost's Faculty Match Program established or expanded 22 endowed faculty position funds with commitments totaling more than $21 million. To follow this tremendous success, the OSU Provost’s Office has committed $2.5 million to fund a second phase of this matching program, offering the potential of leveraging an additional $10 million in private support.

A top campaign priority
Review a selection of the endowed faculty positions and faculty scholar funds created through The Campaign for OSU and in previous years, and catch a glimpse of the profound impact being made by holders of endowed professorships, chairs, and deanships.

Faculty support makes a difference for STUDENTS "A great university library is more than a great collection; its resources must be accessible to students. Thanks to this professorship, OSU will always have a faculty member dedicated to ensuring that library services reflect the ways students learn." — Anne-Marie Deitering, holder of the Franklin A. McEdward Professorship for Undergraduate Learning Initiatives, OSU Libraries

Faculty support makes a difference for OREGON "The Richardson Chair has allowed me to develop specialty courses and research in areas of great interest here in Oregon. This wouldn't be possible if I was obliged to work solely on grant-funded projects." — Mark Harmon, holder of the Richardson Chair in Forest Science, College of Forestry

Faculty support makes a difference for THE WORLD "The worldwide reach of this gift is immeasurable. The research I am able to do enables OSU to expose people to new ideas and literally influence the future of the field around the globe." — Alexis Walker, holder of the Jo Anne Leonard Petersen Chair in Gerontology & Family Studies, College of Health & Human Sciences
