Endowed Chairs

Strengthening a new school like Rady is an exciting opportunity for faculty members, and Rady is dedicated to attracting the best faculty to shape its future. To compete for and keep these scholars, Rady must be able to offer market-competitive packages, including endowed chairs. By creating a reliable source of annual support for the academic and research efforts of distinguished faculty, endowed chairs are integral to our ability to recruit and retain internationally-recognized experts who are leaders in their fields. The funds generated by an endowed chair can be invested in research, equipment, or any other needs at the chairholder's discretion — a powerful incentive to stay with Rady.

In addition to bringing outstanding professors to the classroom, endowed support attracts the best and brightest students, who want to learn from exceptional faculty. By endowing a faculty chair, you can help shape the direction of the Rady School, making a difference far beyond the creation of a steady stream of funding. Everyone benefits — faculty, students, donors and of course the Rady School, which cannot become a top-tier, truly innovative business school without the leadership of stellar faculty, the enthusiasm of top-notch students and the support of visionary donors.
