Meredith Professorships

A substantial bequest from the estate of Dr. L. Douglas Meredith, a 1926 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences, allowed Chancellor Kenneth A. Shaw to create the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships in 1995, to recognize and reward outstanding teaching at Syracuse University.

Goals:

• recognize and reward excellence in teaching
• encourage faculty members to look upon the many dimensions of teaching as manifold opportunities for constant improvement
• emphasize the great importance the University places upon teaching
• and as a result of all of those, to improve the teaching and learning processes on campus.

The Meredith Professors receive a supplementary salary award and an additional fund for professional development for each year of their appointment.
