teaching, research, and public service. Their work enhances the student experience
and advances their academic disciplines. We are honored that they are on the faculty

The Faculty Fellowship is part of the McCausland Foundation Programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. It was established in 2013 through a generous
endowment from alumnus Peter McCausland (’71 history) and his wife, Bonnie. To date,
more than 40 McCausland Faculty Fellows have been named. In addition to the Faculty Fellowship, the endowment supports the
McCausland Visiting Scholars program and the McCausland Innovation Fund.
