25 Years of Service

Each year, Vanderbilt University recognizes those members of the faculty who have just completed twenty-five years of full-time service. Vanderbilt honors these twenty-five-year veterans with the presentation of a chair bearing brass plates engraved with the professor’s name and the Vanderbilt logo.

The brief highlights included here cannot begin to do justice to the contributions these faculty have made to Vanderbilt and their disciplines.
