Chapman nets $3 million gift, continued ...
A Chair is a perpetually endowed faculty position at a university, and it's considered a great honor to hold a Chair or be named to a Chair, according to a university representative. The university has one of the fastest growing numbers of Chairs in the country – in 1984, the campus had only one, and now it has 51.
Hailed as innovative by Chapman, the Rebecca and William Dunn Chair will enable the university to bring a visiting scholar, who specializes in the field of experimental economics, to the campus over a three-year rotating cycle. It's a good opportunity for the individual who holds the Chair, because he or she doesn't need to make a permanent move, and the students will also be able to work with a selection of some of the best economic scientists in the world.
The university plans to recruit a midcareer scientist with international recognition who is still advancing on his or her research. Or, Chapman will provide an opportunity for a skilled young scientist to work with Smith and his colleagues, thereby advancing the studies in this field.
“The vision for this gift is that the scientists holding this professorship will be the Nobel Prize winners of tomorrow,” finishes Doti.
