Tenure Announcements
Earning tenure at Bryn Mawr College is one of the highest recognitions a faculty member can receive — a testament to sustained excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service to the academic community. Each year, the Board of Trustees confirms tenure appointments for faculty members whose work has demonstrably enriched the intellectual life of the College and the educational experience of our students.

Endowed Chairs
An endowed chair is one of the most prestigious honors a faculty member can receive, made possible by the generosity of donors who invest in Bryn Mawr's academic excellence. Faculty appointed to endowed chairs are recognized for their outstanding contributions to teaching, scholarship, and the intellectual life of the College. As part of this honor, the President's Office invites endowed chair holders to deliver a public lecture sharing their research with the Bryn Mawr community, a tradition that celebrates faculty achievement and brings their scholarship to life.

Honoring our Emeriti

It is a mark of deep respect for careers defined by intellectual rigor, dedicated service, and lasting impact on generations of students and colleagues.
