The CEHD Dean’s Office has announced the names of faculty members who have been selected for endowed chairs and professorships effective July 1. They include:

Rashné Jehangir (Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development)—Robert Holmes Beck Chair of Ideas in Education (new)

Nidhi Kohli (Department of Educational Psychology)—American Guidance Service, Inc. and John P. Yackel Professorship (new)

Endowed appointments are made after the dean consults with the CEHD senior management team and academic unit leadership. Professorships and chairs are primarily for faculty recognition of outstanding research, teaching, or service. Appointments are initially for a three-year term. At the conclusion of the appointment term, appointees may continue to hold the professorship or chair title for use as reference, which is consistent with other major University awards.
