Faculty and Fellow Lecturers

Outstanding students require exceptional classes and opportunities from creative professors who will enable them to grow to their fullest potential. Attracting excellent faculty to honors courses ensures the quality of the program over time. They are essential for an intellectually vibrant community.

  • Honors Distinguished Professorship—This chair would recruit an outstanding faculty member to Ball State whose duties would be shared with a home department and the Honors College. The appointment will stabilize resources for the Honors College while also enhancing the senior faculty in a department at Ball State.
  • Honors Faculty Fellow—A faculty member from another institution would be invited on a short-term basis, ranging from a few weeks to a semester, to teach and interact with honors students for a unique seminar or learning opportunity in an area not routinely available at Ball State.
  • Honors Lectureship—This gift would provide substantial support to fund one-time visits by nationally and internationally significant speakers for the campus and for honors students.

With your gift, we can continue to provide students with top-notch faculty.
