Melly Endowed Chair in Business Management and Entrepreneurship
The secret to Hobart and William Smith’s relationship-rich education is our faculty. Known for the impact of their research and distinguished by the depth of their mentorship, in 2027 the Princeton Review ranked HWS faculty #7 in the nation for “Most Accessible Professors.”
In the classroom, our faculty encourage students to explore new topics and learn how to seek solutions to the world’s emerging challenges. During office hours, they meet students where they are and challenge them to build a course of study that leads to a life of consequence. Supporting and retaining our most engaging professors will bolsters our faculty’s reputation as accessible teacher-scholars and advances our tradition of academic excellence.
