These endowed professorships established to honor former UC Regent Edward A. Dickson, are awarded to retired faculty who "continue to make significant contributions in the areas of university service, teaching, and research." Greenberger, who joined UCI in 1975, researches social and cultural influences on adolescent and young adult development. She recently published a widely noted study in the Journal of Youth & Adolescence finding an increased sense of entitlement among college students.
