Bingham Endowed Chairs

Each year, up to three faculty members will be selected by the board of the Bingham Fund as endowed chairs. The selection is based on a rigorous application process by an external committee of excellent peer teachers.

The Bingham Endowed Chair program is an exciting addition to the support that the Bingham Fund has provided Transylvania to identify and reward faculty members of exceptional ability who demonstrate excellent classroom teaching qualities.
