Our more than 1,400 faculty worldwide make Embry-Riddle possible. Our professors set the bar for excellence and for exploration. Here you will find exceptional instructors who are leaders in their fields. Investing in the best people is a critical component to the future success of our students.

The Opportunity

  • We must compete to attract the best talent, the industry’s superstars.
  • Through faculty research, we must build programs to meet the demands of the future, from Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles to Aerospace, and ensure their continued growth.

The Solution | $25 Million Investment

Funding endowed chairs, professorships and center directors is critical to Embry-Riddle’s future. Endowed positions are the hallmark of a great university. They are a time-honored means of attracting, retaining and rewarding outstanding faculty. Moreover, the establishment of these endowed positions significantly elevates our university’s stature, improving our competitive edge against industry and peer institutions in attracting brilliant faculty members.

Each endowed position not only heightens the prestige of our university and its programs but also acts as a beacon, drawing even more exceptional individuals who aspire to collaborate with the foremost experts in aviation and aerospace education. Your contribution will help us continue to lead the way in aviation and aerospace education, preparing the next generation of leaders and innovators in the field. Support for endowed chairs provides the additional funding our superstars need to explore new avenues of teaching and research, pursuits that will benefit our students.

What Will You Fuel?

By the end of Imagine What’s Next: The Centennial Campaign for Embry-Riddle, we are aiming to raise $25 million to fund endowed chairs and professorships as well as other faculty support that will enable us to secure a legacy of excellence.
