Because teachers and scholars are the foundation of a university of distinction, high-quality teaching and research are at the core of NC State’s academic enterprise. The university’s increasingly diverse faculty has produced major achievements that have raised NC State’s profile and brought us international acclaim. Indeed, many distinguished faculty members are world-recognized leaders in fields ranging from chemical engineering to companion animal treatment, from forest resources to business management, and from humanities to design.
Endowed professorships enable NC State to attract promising new researchers — and established professors — who represent the pinnacle of achievement in their fields. At the same time, endowments reward and retain current NC State faculty by providing them with long-term stability and incentives to thrive in our community. Private gifts raised during through the Achieve! campaign will allow NC State to recruit and retain the very best in an increasingly competitive market.
