Recognizing Faculty Distinction

A scholarly professorship, or named faculty position, is one of the highest honors a faculty member can receive from an academic institution. Such an appointment increases a faculty member’s distinction and validates the individual’s work, elevating their influence at Penn and beyond. In Fiscal Year 2024, Penn Engineering appointed the inaugural recipients of three recently established scholarly professorships in addition to the full list below.
