Endowed faculty chairs are some of the most important factors in Colgate's ability to benchmark favorably against its peer institutions.

This campaign seeks to fund a dozen new faculty chairs - unprecedented in our history.

The commitment comes with a steep price, $2 million per chair, but the benefits merit the costs:
 
- First, professors honored by appointments to a chair will be accorded prestige and recognition within the university and in the wider academic community.
 
- Second, Colgate will compete favorably with other top academic institutions in recruiting and retaining the world's most talented faculty researchers and teachers.
 
- Third, great faculty will attract the best students - those who are motivated to learn from and work alongside teachers and researchers who will challenge and inspire them.
 
- And fourth, donors will gain the satisfaction of knowing that their names will be linked in perpetuity to a commitment to academic excellence.
