Half-Century Fellowship

The Half-Century Fellowship supports the regular stipend of a junior tenure-track faculty member, in order to foster his or her research, teaching, and professional growth, as a future academic leader of the Johnson School. The fellowship is supported by the Half-Century Faculty Research Fellowship Fund, established in 2003 by Johnson School alumni, who graduated 50 or more years ago. In 2009, the fund surpassed the $50,000 threshold required by Cornell University, in order for it to pay out investment returns. That year, it honored its first recipient.

Prior to teaching at the Johnson School, Detert spent four years as an assistant professor at the Smeal College of Business at Pennsylvania State University.
