The Cooper Union’s faculty is critical to the educational success of its students.  We must maintain an outstanding faculty in order to remain among the top-ranked small colleges nationwide. 

By funding an endowed professorship, you are providing a permanent source of income to support a faculty member.  Professorships allow Cooper Union to honor and reward our best faculty members, while helping us recruit top researchers and teachers to join Cooper Union.
