  • An estimated one-third of current faculty are likely to retire or leave the university over the next five to eight years.
  • The faculty we hire in their place will define Lehigh for 20 or 30 years to come.
  • Fewer than 10 percent of Lehigh professors and coaches hold fully endowed chairs. Our peers report 20 to 40 percent of their faculty positions are fully endowed.
  • Endowed chairs are among the most important tools for recruiting and retaining the finest faculty.

For further information, please contact Joseph P. Kender, vice president of advancement, at (610) 758-5535 or jpk207@lehigh.edu.
