Having Light, we will endow positions & support outstanding innovation in teaching.

Relationships between students and faculty are a defining feature of the liberal arts experience at Wittenberg. With a push from outstanding professors who love to teach and have an ethos that is all in for student success, Wittenberg students work harder and smarter than they ever thought they could.

Endowed Faculty and Staff Positions - Named positions, such as the Richard P. Veler Chair for English or the Wittenberg Choir Director Endowment are powerful recruitment tools and help provide salary and research support for the individuals who hold them. Endowed professorships are highly sought-after and are vital to ensuring faculty excellence.

Faculty Development Fund - support to this fund provides additional funding to faculty members as they seek to attend conferences, pursue educational projects, and grow in their professional knowledge.

Faculty Compensation Support Fund - donations to this fund help provide support to pay faculty salaries as part of our general operating budget.
