Attracting and Retaining Leading Innovators |
|
The Clark School has established an array of professorships to attract and retain leading professors, and is honored to have among its faculty people who match this high level of attainment. But to achieve greatness — to become the source of outstanding innovation in engineering research, education and entrepreneurship — we need many more. One measure of faculty achievement is membership in the National Academy of Engineers or National Academy of Sciences. Compared to the mean of the top five public engineering schools in this category, we have attracted NAE/NAS faculty at only 30% of their levels. With funding from the Great Expectations campaign, we will create new professorships to double our number of nationally recognized faculty members, offer financial support to retain existing faculty and reward faculty achievement in research and teaching.

Keystone: The Clark School Academy of Distinguished Professors is a new program that encourages the school's best faculty to teach our most fundamental courses, and thereby enhance the undergraduate student experience and increase the school?s student retention and graduation rates. By giving to the Keystone program, donors help to ensure that we give each student the greatest chances for long-term success and produce more engineers to keep the nation competitive.
