An endowed chair provides
a senior faculty member (the chairholder) with a permanent
stream of funding to conduct research. Research expenditures
include graduate student support, funding for lecture programs
and conferences, scholarships, laboratory expenses, among
a host of other needs. A chair is financial endowment held
in perpetuity; the research is funded by the interest it earns.
Sometimes the endowment is restricted to research in a particular
subject area.
At UCSB, the state budget pays the faculty member’s
salary, but funds to support research must be raised from
other sources. For that reason, endowed chairs are particularly
instrumental in our department’s ability to attract
top flight senior scholars.
The department is grateful to generous donors for the following
endowed chairs:
The
Aaron and Cherie Raznick Endowed Chair in Economics
The Jeff
Henley Endowed Chair in Economics
The The Maxwell C. and Mary Pellish Chair in Economics
Although the choice of subject area for a chair is at the
donor’s discretion, the department has identified
the following Promising
Areas for Future Endowed Chairs
If you are interested in establishing an endowed chair
