Georgia State University Regents' Professor and Dean Emeritus Kenneth Black Jr. established the "Program Chair" concept at Georgia State University. The goal of this initiative is uniquely focused on providing support to the entire Department of Risk Management and Insurance, rather than the specific activities of any particular faculty member, as most typical endowed chairs do. Funds raised for the Kenneth Black Jr. Chair of Insurance serve as a source of working capital for the department to attract and retain the best teaching and research faculty in the world; to attract excellent students with scholarships and fellowships; and ultimately, to entice future RMI Department program heads who are respected leaders in both academia and in the insurance profession.
