SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A University of California at Santa Barbara professor and his wife have established a third cluster of four faculty chairs at the coastal campus.
The clustered Mellichamp Academic Initiative Professorships now number 12, giving UCSB a total of 13 Mellichamp chairs — the couple endowed a single chair in process control in 2001.
Starting with establishment of the first cluster in 2003, the couple to date has made contributions totaling $6 million to support the chairs meant for outstanding mid-career faculty. Together these comprise the largest gift ever by a UCSB faculty member.
