Focusing On Academic Excellence
Teaching matters.
Our brilliant students deserve the very best education possible. That’s why we focus on attracting and retaining impressive faculty who provide outstanding lessons and mentorship for our students.
Attracts Top Talent
To reach more students and extend the breadth of our research, we must attract more world-class faculty. To that end, ODU will raise an additional $34 million for endowed chairs and professorships. And since top-notch professors need the best technology and equipment to get the job done, so we will seek to provide them with $16 million in state-of-the-art resources so the best and brightest can be their best.
Outstanding Faculty Awards
35 recipients of the Outstanding Faculty Awards, the Commonwealth’s highest honor, are ODU professors.
