Faculty Fellows continued...

One of the first Faculty Fellows is Communication Arts Professor Susan Zaeske. “I found it incredibly energizing and motivating to be recognized by the college and, what might be even more noteworthy, by friends of the college,” she said. “This award is a tangible way of saying, ‘We have faith in you.'” The Faculty Fellows are targeted to faculty who are within 10 years of having received tenure. “These are the sort of people we are losing left and right,” Zaeske said. “This mid-career period is very often an academic's really productive time, and that's when a good person is likely to be picked off by other schools.”

In addition to Faculty Fellows, the “Great People. Great Place.” Initiative also includes ways to support and retain the best educators and researchers on campus through gift options such as chairs and professorships.
