NEH Distinguished Teaching Professorshipship

In response to a proposal written at the Teaching Resource Center, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded U.Va. a Special Challenge Grant. That challenge met, the University now has three rotating, three-year chairs for distinguished faculty members in the humanities. Each year a Distinguished Teaching Professor takes the lead in creating a state-wide conference on teaching in his or her discipline. Ideas generated by the conference are then shared interdisciplinarily through TRC-sponsored workshops. The Professorships are administered by the Associate Dean for Personnel and Planning, Arts and Sciences.
