Endowed Chairs
Few gifts provide a more enduring, impressive and satisfying monument than the establishment of an endowed academic chair of instruction. The endowed chair may bear the name of the donor(s) or someone of the donor's choice. The position is distinguished by the memorial/honoraria name in the catalog and other Ouachita publications, as well as being part of the title when referring to the distinguished professor who holds the chair at that particular time.
An endowed chair is only awarded to
a professor who is prominent in his or her field, an outstanding
teacher who has demonstrated exceptional ability in the selected
discipline.
The endowment is used to help meet the expenses of the professor's office, including salary and research costs. The endowed chair will be recognized by the memorial/honoraria name in perpetuity.
