Entering students step into a world rich with possibility and discovery. Our faculty will guide them as they navigate this new world. Outstanding faculty attract and inspire outstanding students. Their reputations bring to our university the bright, motivated students who enrich the campus community. Their classes introduce new ideas, unique perspectives and a sense of purpose. Future community and business leaders, health care professionals and creative visionaries walk our campus, not yet knowing the impact they will make.
A university must continually nurture faculty excellence. First-rate teaching and research require competitive salaries, innovative technology and opportunities for professional development. UNCG attracts talented professors who are experts in their fields, but limited state funds makes retention a recurring challenge. By dramatically increasing private support for faculty imperatives, we can reverse this trend and keep UNCG’s shining stars at UNCG.
Joe Rosenthal Excellence Professor of Information Systems and Operations Management
“All of our best faculty should have endowed professorships because with that level of support comes the ability to achieve great things.”
