The professorship is funded by donors through the University of Nebraska Foundation and includes a $15,000 five-year renewable stipend.
The Cather/Bessey, Douglas/Weaver and Rosowski professorships are intended to recognize outstanding faculty members for their contributions in research or teaching and promise for future excellence. The Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs funds these professorships. The Cather/Bessey and Douglas/Weaver professorships include a $5,000 annual stipend.
