Graduate Faculty Appointments

If you are preparing a new faculty appointment that will also require graduate faculty status, please contact Sherry Gray (542-1561) in the Franklin College Dean’s Office to ensure that your Graduate Faculty Appointment is coordinated in conjunction with the new faculty appointment.  This policy and procedure can be found at the Franklin College website.

Endowed Professorships

Please remember that endowed professor appointments must be scheduled for review and approval by the Board of Regents after they are approved by the Provost.  All of these approvals must be given before the faculty start date, so please plan to have your endowed professor appointments prepared early.
