Rollins' Academic Departments

Endowed Chairs and Professorships

Endowed chairs and professorships are one of the most significant philanthropic contributions you can make, enabling Rollins to recruit and retain the highest-quality faculty members. The designation of endowed chair or distinguished professor allows senior-level faculty to further their research endeavors, deepen their scholarship, and explore promising public health areas as they seek federal funding. Endowed chairs advance a school, department, and area of academic or clinical interest, while honoring the individual the chair is named for.
