ANNA S. BROWN AND RUTH B. LOGAN

ENDOWED CHAIR IN PRE-MEDICINE

Established: October 27, 2000


The purpose of this endowed chair is to support the Bio-medical program at Murray State University.  The endowed chair will be in the Department of Biological Sciences of the College of Science, Engineering and Technology.

This position was vacant during 2004-05.  The endowed threshold has not been attained.  The endowed chair will be filled when earnings from the endowment reach a level sufficient to attract an appropriate candidate.

The endowed chair position will be filled with an exceptionally gifted and promising young scholar whose accomplishments indicate great potential for achievement. Proceeds from the endowment will be used to fund the position along with associated expenses including travel, start-up costs, and other professional expenses as permitted by university policy.

It is anticipated that the endowment and the expertise of the professor will enable greater recruitment, retention and graduate placement of pre-med students.  Recruiting, retaining and matriculating bright students will promote program loyalty and, often, a return to practice in Kentucky.
