Eleven faculty members who have been named to endowed chairs were praised for their outstanding academic achievements during a celebration at the Student Life Center.
“We are a place that values discovery, creativity, great patient care and service in affairs, said Richard McCarty, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. ”And it’s also the transfer of the passion of your academic scholarship that benefits our students as well as the larger society.” He expressed gratitude for the chair holders’ work as leaders on campus, in their various fields and in the broader society.
The April 5 ceremony was the second in a series of events to recognize the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of new chair holders at Vanderbilt.
