W&M alumnus honors faculty excellence
(Williamsburg, VA) – The College of William and 玛丽 announced today that Joseph J. Plumeri—alumnus (1966), member of the Board of Visitors, and longtime supporter—has committed $2 million to establish the Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence.
"It is a privilege for me to give back to honor and support our faculty's efforts," said Plumeri. "The faculty is the DNA of the College and each day they work passionately to challenge the minds of our exceptional students. Their research and other pursuits extend well beyond the campus."
With an annual payout of $200,000 over 10 years, the Plumeri Awards will provide 20 members of the faculty with $10,000 for research opportunities, summer salaries or other stipends associated with scholarly endeavor.
"This extraordinary gift from Joe Plumeri will make a real difference for the better at William and 玛丽," said Interim President W. Taylor Reveley III. "We are grateful for his commitment to the faculty."
