Distinguished Professorship
$1,000,000 Per Endowment
Appointment of persons as Distinguished Professors by North Dakota State University recognizes outstanding success in teaching and original research and indicates potential for earning a Distinguished Professorship appointment.
Faculty members honored as a distinguished professor are judged outstanding instructors and researchers in the individual's field of specialization. Appointment or election also recognizes their outstanding creative work in shaping the world's understanding of their field, use of this work, and for their interest in instructing future leading scholars, researchers and teachers.
Income earned from a Distinguished Professorship Endowment will provide supplemental salary income to an existing faculty position and resources for teaching and research costs, enable NDSU to attract and retain both established and promising faculty who are acknowledged for their innovative instruction and research methods.
