Term professorships are used to reward outstanding CLAS faculty who excel in both scholarship and teaching. These professorships, funded entirely by private sources, allow the college to recognize faculty who are making a significant difference in the classroom as well as through their scholarship. Faculty cannot apply for a term professorship and do not know they are even being considered for this recognition, making it a special award. Each term professor will receive a one-year supplement of $5,000 in salary and $1,000 in research support. This year, owing to the continued success of the campaign, CLAS was able to award twelve professorships, up from ten last year and six in 1998.
