Edith O’Donnell Distinguished Chair

In 2014 Edith O’Donnell established the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History with a $17 million lead gift, which also endowed a distinguished chair for the director of the institute and four additional O’Donnell distinguished chairs. The Edith O’Donnell Distinguished Chair #3 is intended to focus on innovations in art history.

Dr. Erika Doss

Professor of Art History

“I’m really impressed with the possibilities of the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History. It’s unique, young and exactly the sort of immersive art history environment that can really be wonderful.”
