No single factor has more influence on the quality of education than the caliber of the faculty.
For nearly a century, Southeastern has been a destination of choice for education, personal discovery, creative activity, and entrepreneurialism. You see the impact of a Southeastern education through the graduates that go on to regional companies and live in local communities. Faculty recruiting is strategically important because it can broaden or deepen a department’s teaching and research capabilities, which expands opportunities for students. In a competitive academic landscape, endowed professorships enable Southeastern to recruit and retain the most creative, committed and highest-quality faculty, advancing the academic excellence and mission of the University.
