Endowed Directorships

An anchor for academic centers

The success of Bucknell’s academic centers depends on strong, steady leadership. A directorship endowed in perpetuity provides the stability a young center needs to grow and thrive.  

Whether an academic center has a dedicated bricks-and-mortar location or is simply a group of faculty and students from diverse disciplines working to achieve shared academic goals, an endowed directorship energizes and anchors our efforts.

Opportunities abound

All of our existing centers will benefit from the permanent leadership an endowed directorship provides. They include:

• The Center for Civic Engagement
• The Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Gender
• The Environmental Center
• The Samek Art Gallery
• The Stadler Center for Poetry
• The Teaching and Learning Center
• The Weis Center for the Performing Arts
• The Writing Center

Endowed directorships will also have a decisive impact on the future of the new centers envisioned in our University Initiatives, such as :

• The Creative Campus Initiative
• The Residential Learning Initiative
• The Sustainability Initiative
