Endowed Faculty Positions

Endowed chairs and professorships give Boise State the means to attract and keep outstanding faculty. These positions offer the resources to pursue bold research and scholarship, the recognition that honors excellence and the support that allows faculty to thrive.

The best faculty bring energy and innovation into their work, spark curiosity in students and push the boundaries of creativity across campus. Donors make this possible. Every gift supporting endowed faculty positions strengthens Boise State, creating a ripple effect that elevates the entire university and transforms the student experience.
