Endowments will help the Department to grow and enrich the program in many ways. They help to enhance existing programs by creating distinguished professorships, endowed chairs, fellowships and lectureships. They also support promising new programs that might otherwise go unfunded. Distinguished Professorships or Endowed Chairs provide funding in perpetuity and create an enduring, highly visible link between the donor or honoree for whom the endowment is named and the continuing achievements of the program that the endowment supports. Many donors choose to establish an endowment to benefit an area of personal or intellectual interest and then share in the pleasures of the program's successes.

Additionally, Distinguished Professorships and Endowments are powerful recruiting tools for attracting and retaining the most talented and sought-after health scientists and teachers. With such first-rate faculty come the brightest graduate students, the most accomplished colleagues and the public and private support that contribute to an intellectually challenging environment. Naming opportunities are often available with endowments.
