Last year, Auburn University President Jay Gogue initiated a program to create 81 new endowed professorships across campus. The university offered $7,500 each year in perpetuity to the earnings of any endowed professorship established by Sept. 30, 2009. In so doing, the university enabled donors to create the equivalent of a $300,000 named endowment with a gift of $150,000 – half the amount normally required. The College of Engineering was originally offered 13 of these endowments, but set its sights on acquiring 20. Demonstrating their steadfast commitment, our alumni and friends, people like you, answered the call, and by program’s end, the college had secured funding for 27 of these new endowments – more than two-and-a-half times that of the next closest constituency. These professorships are critical to the college’s ability to compete with peer institutions for the finest faculty. Competition is stiff for top-notch educators and researchers who are proven experts in their field. These new resources for salary enhancements, research support, technology upgrades A c a d e m i c T r a d e and faculty development are vital to Auburn Engineering’s ability to attract and maintain exceptional faculty members. Throughout its history, Auburn Engineering has been at the forefront of discovery and innovation. We have taken advantage of opportunities because of the dedication and generosity of our supporters. As we build an outstanding faculty, we in turn produce the best graduates. We have maintained this tradition for a long time – just ask any Auburn engineer.
