Brown is building its capacity to lead in areas of great consequence to society through world-class teaching, research and innovation.
Inspiring Academic Excellence
Brown's faculty examine the big questions, challenge common assumptions, and encourage their students to look at the world in new ways. On a daily basis, they are fueling discovery, partnering with policymakers, and shaping the next generation of scholars, leaders and problem-solvers.
Scholars / Investigators / Mentors: The impact of endowed professorships
“ Endowed professorships are advancing Brown’s excellence across all disciplines, rooted in the creativity and collaboration that stem from the Open Curriculum, and make the experience of teaching and pursuing scholarship at Brown unique. ”
Through new endowed faculty chairs (more than 140 of which were created during the historic BrownTogether campaign), we will recruit top-tier scholars in fields of emerging importance, and welcome additional faculty from historically underrepresented groups.
These faculty members will teach and conduct research in areas touching every aspect of the human experience, from health, to peace and justice, to the ways in which we create art, interact with technology and sustain life on Earth.
Together, as a community of thinkers, innovators and doers, Brown’s faculty will accelerate the creation of new knowledge that will inform solutions to our most pressing social problems and improve lives across the globe.
