Submitted on behalf of Provost La Jerne Terry Cornish, Ph.D., Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs:

As an update to the message recently sent our regarding Dana Professorship applications, we are expanding our offering to three new professorships and extending the deadline to May 14, 2021 for applications.  

Candidates must complete all materials (i.e. application form, current CV, narrative and references) and send them to mataylor@ithaca.edu by May 14, 2021. A selection committee consisting of one representative from each School will review applications and make recommendations for approval to the Provost.  Awards will be announced no later than June 1, 2021. Three professorships to begin in AY 2021-22 will be awarded.

 

Thanks to the Charles A. Dana Foundation’s generosity, Dana Professorships are awarded to selected Ithaca College full professors who have demonstrated a continued record of excellence as well as a promise of outstanding future contributions in teaching, professional endeavor in their area of specialty, and service to college and community. Dana Professors serve as role models and mentors for faculty and students, freely sharing their leadership skills, expertise, advice, and experience with the College’s community and others who seek it. As a result, the Dana Professors’ activities reflect positively on and enhance the College’s national and international reputation as a center for academic and artistic inquiry.

Dana Professorships are awarded for five-year terms, and faculty may reapply for the award at the end of their term. Candidates must be full professors at the time of application and at any stage of their career, although the program actively encourages newly appointed full professors to apply. To qualify, the candidates’ primary area of responsibility at the College must be teaching, with a minimum of six credits per semester.
