BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Illinois Wesleyan University announced a new endowed professorship recently at the annual Trustees Dinner as a part of Transforming Lives: The Campaign for Illinois Wesleyan University.
Robert Harrington, former chair of the Business and Economics Department and emeritus professor at Illinois Wesleyan, is establishing a new endowed professorship. Endowed professorships celebrate the combined talents of professors who excel in instructional and scholarly activity, and support their efforts to bring research into the classroom.
“I decided to come work at Illinois Wesleyan because I saw the potential in the faculty members,” said Harrington. “I know this professorship will recognize faculty who distinguish themselves as teachers and scholars.”
