Brandeis Receives $16.5 million to Endow Five Professorships
September 7, 2022
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
As I first mentioned in my welcome back message, I am delighted to share more information with you about the five endowed professorships that came to fruition during the last five months of the fiscal year. Brandeis has received five separate gifts totaling $16.5 million to establish four new faculty chairs — one each in African and African American studies, mathematics, Israeli politics and society, and business — as well as an endowed position to lead an integrated center for Jewish studies.
This unprecedented burst of support and investment in our faculty from alumnae, friends, and foundations is a vital ingredient to what we need to fulfill our academic value proposition, as outlined in the Framework for the Future.
I invite you to read the full announcement to get to know the generous supporters behind these gifts and see what their support means to the university's long term academic program.
Thank you all for everything each of you does to make Brandeis such a special place.
Sincerely,
Ron Liebowitz
