ThurSday, September 4, 2025 • 12:30 p.m.
Announcing our 2025-2026 University Professors, Steber Professors, Herzog Endowed Scholar and Class of 1975 Endowed Professor.
Our five University Professorships are the highest academic honor bestowed university-wide, and are given in recognition of outstanding scholarly achievements in teaching and research. Our two Steber Professorships recognize substantial contributions in the areas of teaching, research, and service and are limited, by the intent of the donor Clarence L. Steber, to faculty in the School of Business and the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. The Herzog Endowed Scholar award recognizes the meritorious teaching and scholarly productivity of one of our professors in the School of Law. The Class of 1975 Endowed Professorship, established by the Class of 1975 as its 25-year reunion gift to the Law School, recognizes meritorious teaching, leadership, and academic accomplishments of a professor in the School of Law.
