About the Institution: Sitting on a beautiful 160-acre tree-lined campus and located just 10 minutes from downtown Syracuse, in the heart of the state of New York, lies Le Moyne College, an independent college established by the Jesuits in 1946. Its mission is to provide students with a values-based, comprehensive academic program designed to foster intellectual excellence and preparation for a life of leadership and service. Under dynamic presidential leadership, Le Moyne College is evolving into a nationally acclaimed college of liberal arts and sciences that draws students from across the U.S. and abroad.

About the McDevitt Center: The McDevitt Center at Le Moyne College is an endowed center supported by a 50-million-dollar gift from the estate of Robert and Kay McDevitt. The Center is intended to position Le Moyne as a leading regional and national sponsor of hi-impact programs and initiatives that advance awareness of the latest research in Computer Science, Physics, Management/Information Systems, and Religious Philosophy. Each of the Center’s programs and initiatives is developed in conjunction with, and led by, a nationally prominent or an especially promising emerging figure who is working at the forefront of one of these disciplinary areas. Each of those invited to lead an initiative through the McDevitt Center are appointed as McDevitt Chair or Associate Chair in the relevant discipline. The position of McDevitt Chair/Associate Chair may be either a tenure-stream appointment or a short-term, visiting appointment (normally not exceeding one academic year) that does not necessarily require full-time residence at Le Moyne College and may be held concurrently with other appointments.
