Endowed Chair Philanthropy

An endowed chair is the highest honor a university is able to bestow on a faculty member. As important, an endowed chair is a permanent source of funding available to a faculty member to help pursue his or her research and education goals.

Enhancing the endowment at the University of Miami School of Medicine will have a direct impact on our ability to recruit the best faculty and to conduct important research.

An endowed chair at the University of Miami is a permanent source of funds for the benefit of a scholar who has attained national and international prominence in his or her respective field. A donation to an endowed chair is one of the best and most effective ways to support a particular program in the Department of Surgery — and an excellent way to contribute to a faculty member's success.
