Endowed chairs and professorships represent the highest accolade that a university can bestow upon a faculty member.

Funded endowments promote individual and collaborative faculty research endeavors that frequently result in groundbreaking findings that advance their respective fields of study.

YSU faculty are expanding research in academic areas, including Accounting and Finance, Actuarial Science, Economics, Engineering, English, Gerontology, Long-Term Care, Judaic and Holocaust Studies, and History.
