A student-centered
institution becomes a model for others in higher education only when it is constantly
improving and evolving to meet changing needs. It progresses when faculty members
are supported for achieving recognition in their disciplines and for sharing
the strategies that lead to outstanding teaching.
Meredith Professorships
In
1995 a bequest from the estate of Dr. L. Douglas Meredith ’26 enabled Chancellor
Kenneth A. Shaw to create the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships

receives a significant stipend plus professional development and department
assistance funds. Meredith Professors to date include: Linda Alcoff, College
