Without exception, great universities have great faculty. The presence of highly-esteemed faculty members helps attract the most talented students to Seton Hall University—adding to the already thriving academic environment.

Endowed Professorships are the most significant awards bestowed upon tenured faculty. The income from these permanently invested funds provides for salary, benefits, and research support, and provides a long-term commitment that often enables these outstanding educators to pursue projects at the cutting-edge of educational development and research.

With the launch of the Ever Forward campaign, the University hopes to increase its number of endowed professorships. By raising $14 million for this cause, Seton Hall will be able to attract and retain the finest professors and reward top faculty members for their teaching, research and service. In addition to guaranteeing salaries commensurate with experience and potential, endowed chairs provide resources that enable faculty to build programs that can make a real difference for both Seton Hall and the world community.

Donors who choose to endow a faculty position recognize that their gift will make a lasting, living contribution and strengthen the core of the University. It will help recruit leading professors, widening the University’s breadth of talent and securing a solid education for its students, who ultimately reap the benefits of such a gift.
