relationships between our students and faculty. In addition to being outstanding scholars in their fields of expertise and well-versed in the leading practices in teaching and learning, Butler faculty care deeply about their students. As students engage in undergraduate research and service learning, they do so alongside faculty members who act not only as teachers but as lifelong mentors. In fact, a demonstrated sense of commitment to students is Butler\u2019s number one criteria when hiring new faculty members. Whether in the dance studio, the biology lab, or the classroom, Butler faculty share an abiding devotion to helping their students learn and thrive during their time at Butler and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to fulfill Butler\u2019s mission of preparing all learners to lead meaningful lives, we must enhance our investment in our most valuable resource. For this reason, named faculty positions are a top funding priority at Butler University. Named professorships bring prestige and name recognition to existing areas of academic distinction and help to enhance and elevate Butler\u2019s reputation in academic areas of growing student interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many ways a Butler education has evolved over time, faculty remain the single most important ingredient in the quality of the experience we are able to provide for our students. For this reason, we must renew our commitment to support our excellent faculty and enhance our investment in their ongoing growth and development so they can support our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donors can help us by establishing a new named endowed professorship or by making a three-year immediate-impact pledge that covers the term of a professorship. Donors can also help support outstanding faculty through College- or discipline-specific faculty excellence funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how you can establish a named professorship, contact <strong>Dawn Dinwiddie<\/strong>, Senior Director of Campaigns and Strategic Fundraising Initiatives, at <strong><a href=\"mailto:ddinwiddie@butler.edu\">ddinwiddie@butler.edu<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"two-column-text-links-image two-column-text-links-image--imageLeft  alignfull\" >\n\t<div class=\"two-column-text-links-image__imageWrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-720x480.jpg\" class=\"two-column-text-links-image__media-img\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/08101600\/20171115_Anatomage_Lab-_080-720x480.jpg 720w\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"container two-column-text-links-image__grid-default two-column-text-links-image__wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"two-column-text-links-image__content sketches__app\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"two-column-text-links-image__description t-h2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tExcellence Begins with Faculty\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"two-column-text-links-image__links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a href=\"http:\/\/give.butler.edu\/faculty-excellence\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button-solid   t-p1\">\n\t<span class=\"button-solid__label\">\n\t Make a gift to support faculty excellence\t<\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a href=\"mailto:ddinwiddie@butler.edu\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button-solid   t-p1\">\n\t<span class=\"button-solid__label\">\n\t Connect with us\t<\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investing in Butler&#8217;s Greatest Resource One of the distinguishing features of a Butler education has always been the meaningful relationships between our students and faculty.
