Faculty titles are lowercase unless the title precedes a name.
\nHenry Jones, a professor of history
\nProfessor of History Henry Jones
\nAssistant Professor of Neurology Jane Jones
\nProfessor Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

On subsequent references, faculty members are typically referred to by their surnames without an honorific title. (Phrases such as \u201cDr. Jones\u201d or \u201cProfessor Smith\u201d should be limited to material directly quoted from a speaker or as a form of polite address in specific presentations.)<\/p>\n

Do not use the abbreviation \u201cprof.\u201d when referring to faculty<\/p>\n

There are several ranks of faculty (assistant, associate, professor). It\u2019s important to note that they are not to be used interchangeably. All parts of the title should be capitalized when the full title is used before a faculty member\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Refer to the online directory<\/a> for academic title information.<\/p>\n

Names of endowed chairs are always capitalized, whether accompanied by a personal name or not and whether they appear before or after the holder\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Follow the\u00a0Chicago Manual<\/em>\u2019s guidelines for descriptive titles, such as \u201chistorian,\u201d \u201ceconomist,\u201d \u201cphilosopher,\u201d \u201cbiologist,\u201d etc., that often are used in academia (8.31) and for titles in apposition (8.22).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
