West Paces Hotel Group gift to College of Human Sciences supports two endowed professorships in Hotel and Restaurant Management
Horst Schulze and the West Paces Hotel Group have chosen to support the university's efforts to recognize and retain exemplary faculty through its endowed professorship program. Their commitment of $300,000 will provide for two professorships bringing the total to three secured by the College of Human Sciences in response to President Jay Gogue's challenge to create 81 new professorships across campus for existing faculty with exceptional merit. When fully funded, the West Paces Hotel Group Endowed Professorships will be awarded by the dean to two professors who exhibit a strong commitment to students and a high quality of instruction, research and outreach. The donor requested that the gift be designated to faculty members in Hotel and Restaurant Management. To make the endowments two of distinction, the university will match each of the annual spendable accounts which is available for distribution with $7,500 in perpetuity.
