Laura
J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships
In
1994 and 1995, SU received bequests from the estate of L. Douglas Meredith to
be used for special professorships. Chancellor Shaw and then-Vice Chancellor
Vincow created the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships of Teaching
Excellence, to be conferred upon a number of tenured professors who have proven
track records as outstanding teachers. During their three-year terms, Meredith
Professors receive an annual supplemental salary award and an annual fund for
professional development. The Meredith Professors also convene a Meredith Symposium,
meeting twice a semester to discuss and reflect on the state of teaching at
SU and to develop means to work collectively and individually to improve the
University.
