These five-year Bingham Endowed Chairs will include base salary, benefits and an additional $25,000 annual award to recognize professors whose outstanding and innovative teaching demonstrates Transylvania\u2019s commitment to the very best student educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have immense appreciation for the outstanding teaching done by Transylvania faculty and profound respect for the Bingham Awards, which encourage and reward that teaching excellence,\u201d said John K. Roth, professor emeritus at Claremont McKenna College and longtime member of the Bingham Fund board. \u201cThe new initiative to fund Bingham Endowed Chairs underscores and expands those commitments in ways that honor the highest standards and advance the best practices of American higher education.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1987, the Bingham Fund has invested nearly $30 million to develop, identify, promote and reward excellent classroom teaching at Transylvania by funding faculty awards and providing financial support to develop teaching initiatives, including summer liberal arts seminars attended by faculty from a broad cross section of national liberal arts institutions. The fund has supported the creation of a digital learning program to provide encouragement and professional assistance to faculty in the use of digital technologies in classroom teaching, and ongoing faculty development and faculty and student research through the David and Betty Jones Faculty Development Fund.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 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,\u201d said Christopher Young, chair of the Bingham Fund board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis Bingham grant will allow Transylvania to be more competitive in recruiting and retaining top-notch educators by providing higher salaries, including starting salaries, for our faculty, while recognizing the extraordinary efforts of those who receive the new Bingham award,\u201d President Brien Lewis said. \u201cIt will also further underline the importance of excellent teaching as a cornerstone of the Transylvania student experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By establishing the new Bingham chairs, Transylvania has reaffirmed and strengthened its long-term commitment to excellent teaching. Paul Duffin, a Transylvania faculty leader said, \u201cThe Transylvania faculty are thankful to the Bingham Fund Board and are eager for these awards to help us continue preparing our students to be lifelong learners and engaged citizens.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The $25 million, 15-year grant will fund up to 12 endowed chairs at Transylvania
