Endowed Positions

Endowed chairs, professorships and fellowships bolster Northwest’s environment of excellence and enrich learning. They are a prestigious honor for faculty who have earned reputations as leaders in their disciplines. The endowed and named positions provide supplemental salary and support professional development, enhanced research, teaching methods, discoveries, student learning, curriculum development and other creative pursuits.
