One of the CLAS "It's Performance That Counts" campaign goals is to raise money for 20 new term professorships. These professorships, funded entirely by private sources, allow the College to recognize faculty who excel in both scholarship and teaching.  Each term professor will receive a one-year supplement of $5,000 in salary and $1,000 in research support. This year the College was able to award six professors, up from three in years past.
