Invest in Faculty

Supporting our faculty advances public health on a global scale. Our world-class researchers and teachers are at the forefront of addressing the most pressing health challenges of our time. While endowed professorships provide crucial long-term support, gifts of all sizes play a vital role in fueling research, enabling inspired teaching, and freeing faculty from the constant pressure of grant-seeking. Every contribution, regardless of the size of the gift, helps create an environment where our faculty can focus on pioneering work.

Having a global impact on public health is most readily addressed through investment in top scholars.

Endow a Professorship

Leadership-level donors can name an endowed professorship or senior leadership fellowship fund. Endowed professorships are the highest honor bestowed on faculty members. They establish a permanent legacy and help us attract and retain top faculty talent. 

Endowed senior leadership fellowships bring professionals and political figures to the School for advanced training and intellectual exchange with students and faculty.
