Stephen Bowen, '72: Endowed Professorship Named in Wabash College Board Chair’s Honor

Stephen S. Bowen wrapped up his tenure as Chair of the Wabash College Board of Trustees as the fifth longest-serving chair in the College’s 185-year history. As a tribute, Wabash President Gregory D. Hess announced that an endowed professorship will forever bear Bowen’s name.

“We congratulate and thank Steve for his leadership of our Board, as well as his generosity to and love of this College with the establishment of the Stephen S. Bowen Professorship in the Liberal Arts,” President Hess said. “It is a fitting tribute to Steve, who has lived out the Wabash mission of thinking critically, acting responsibly, leading effectively, and living humanely.”

The professorship is made possible by a gift from the Pritzker Foundation, and was presented by Bowen’s long-time friend and law partner, Michael Pucker, on behalf of the foundation.
