The Fredonia College Foundation is accepting proposals for the Williams Visiting Professorship.
The endowed fund held by the Fredonia College Foundation was established in 1998 by H. Kirk and Nancy Williams. Mr. Williams is the former owner and publisher of the Dunkirk Evening Observer.
He was named Chairman of the College Council in 1968 and at the time of his retirement in 1996, Williams was one of the longest serving chairmen in SUNY history. Mr. Williams was also the recipient of the Fredonia College Foundation's Distinguished Service Award.
The purpose of the fund is to bring to campus individuals who are noted for excellence in a particular discipline or profession and who have demonstrated achievement that transcends a single field of study.
Funding requests for the following semesters will be considered: Fall 2026, Spring 2027, Fall 2027, Spring 2028 and Fall 2028.
Approximately $70,000 will be available during this award cycle.
The deadline submission is March 20, by close of business. The application can be accessed here.
