Caven business professorship applications due soon
October 14, 2015
The University of Alaska Foundation is accepting applications for the Harold T. Caven
Professorship. The professorship, which carries an award of $20,000, was established
in 1974 with a generous gift from Loretta Caven, his widow.
Harold Caven came to Alaska in 1943. He served as a director and a vice president
of First National Bank of Anchorage.
Proposals for the award will be accepted from faculty members in business and finance
within the University of Alaska system. Applicants who have evident leadership in
the financial community, either practically or academically, are preferred.
Awards are intended to allow the recipient to carry out activities and projects designed
to enhance the field of business and finance at the University of Alaska, beyond those
associated with the recipient’s normal faculty assignments.
The deadline is Nov. 20, 2015, for the two-year appointment. The term of the professorship
commences upon award and will continue until June 2017.
