Celebrating Endowed Faculty Appointments

May 8, 2024

This year, the University of Florida College of Health & Human Performance hosted four celebrations recognizing senior faculty and their endowed appointments, three of which were conferred to faculty during the ceremony.

The ceremonies are rooted in academe and mark a significant milestone in the career of the accomplished scholar. Not only are the ceremonies a celebration of each faculty member’s achievements, but also a testament to the institution’s education and research.

“An endowed professorship allows our college to permanently fund a faculty member, supplementing salary and research funding,” said Michael B. Reid, dean. “These appointments, endowed by generous members of our community, help us attract and retain top talent and enhance the reputation of our college.”

The UF and college community were invited to attend each of the ceremonies which included introductions by colleagues and a keynote lecture by the scholar highlighting their research and expertise. A reception followed each ceremony.
