Endowed Chairs and Professorships

Endowed Chairs and Professorships are crucial in our ability to recruit and retain preeminent faculty members across various fields.

Endowed positions for faculty members and academic leaders are among the most prestigious gifts our University supporters can make. As such, they enable KSU to attract renowned educators to teach and mentor generations of students who will shape our society.

Faculty and Student Research

Dedicated to developing solutions to address some of the most significant challenges facing our world, we are committed to pursuing new knowledge and discovery. Encouraging multidisciplinary research across our two campuses will facilitate collaboration on special projects and strengthen our research enterprise in areas with existing faculty expertise.

Research support benefits talented students and aids faculty members in their research endeavors as KSU seeks to increase research expenditures by 20% annually.
