Chairs and Professorships
Some faculty members hold appointments at the university that
are partially or fully supported through the generosity of private
donors. These professorships recognize and support important
scholarly contributions by the recipients in the various disciplines
of the university. Chairs and professorships for faculty members
within disciplines are noted in the departmental listing of faculty.
Maeser Professorships and Alcuin Fellows
Brigham Young University also encourages strong commitment
by its faculty to undergraduate teaching, particularly in the
universitys General Education Program. The Karl G. Maeser
Professorships, named for the spiritual architect of Brigham
Young Academy and established in 1987, acknowledge truly
outstanding efforts in the development and teaching of general
education and honors courses balanced with serious and
committed scholarship.
Alcuin Fellowships, established in 1986 and named for the
founder of the court schools during the Carolingian renaissance of
Charlemagne, acknowledge outstanding and innovative efforts in
working with students within the universitys general education
and honors curriculum.
