Endowed and Named Chairs are faculty members with significant experience and accomplishments in their fields. Throughout their careers, they have built a network of collaborators and a robust research portfolio. Private funding for endowed chairs and grants for named chairs provides the resources they need to further their work, publish their findings, travel to conferences, and create opportunities for promising students to gain real-life research experience. The work they do helps MSU remain a competitive force among other universities and research institutions on a global scale.
