Faculty Excellence

Weatherhead’s world‑class faculty are the foundation of a community that imagines boldly, leads with purpose, and shapes organizations capable of thriving in a rapidly changing world. Our professors are practitioner‑scholars - thinkers and doers - who help students navigate 
disruption, rethink systems, and create sustainable value across industries and sectors.

With 23 endowed professorships and growing, Weatherhead continues to strengthen its 
ability to attract, retain, and support exceptional faculty whose work drives meaningful impact locally and globally.
