CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Five professors at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been named Swanlund Chairs, the highest endowed titles on the Urbana campus. The new Swanlund Chairs are Eric Freyfogle , law ; Sharon Hammes-Schiffer , chemistry ; Thomas Huang , electrical and computer engineering ; John Rogers , materials science and engineering ; Stephen Sligar , biochemistry. "I congratulate our five new Swanlund Chairs," said Phyllis M. Wise, the chancellor of the Urbana campus. "Their contributions in teaching, discovery and engagement continue to push the boundaries of what we know and how we use that knowledge to make a better world. The global reputation for excellence enjoyed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is apparent in the work and dedication of our faculty, students and staff. These five distinguished members of our faculty raise the expectations and the aspirations of all of us in the Illinois family." - Freyfogle's work is broadly interdisciplinary - drawing upon history, philosophy, biological sciences, economics and literature - and is guided by a conservation ethic that seeks better ways for humans to live in nature.
