Faculty Support
The Impact of Endowed Professorships and Center Directors
By endowing a professorship or center director, your name or the name designated to the role, will become permanently associated with the Weitzman School. For generations to come, a succession of faculty and center directors who are deeply passionate about teaching, involved in research, and meaningfully engaged with professional practice will hold this named position, advance knowledge in their fields, and help shape the future of design.
The Weitzman School Matching Program
Matching funds are available for a limited time to accelerate the growth in endowed faculty positions and center directors available at the Weitzman School. When a donor creates a new endowed position, the School will elevate the fund’s total value. More about The Matching Program here.
