Picking a gift for a visiting professor
A visiting professor is a scholar who spends a term or a year teaching at a university that isn't their home institution, often juggling a lecture schedule, a borrowed office and a rental apartment. They know the feeling of arriving in a new city with boxes of books and no familiar coffee shop. A gift that acknowledges the temporary, traveling side of academic life lands well. A mug is perfect for the borrowed office, where they'll drink a lot of coffee and probably never see it again once they leave. A hoodie suits the cold lecture hall and the walk between buildings. Put their title on it, or the university where they're visiting, and the piece becomes a small memento of the stint. Many visiting positions end in a farewell lunch, so a shirt or mug with their name and title makes a thoughtful send-off for a colleague who's packing up.
Visiting Professor gift questions
Can I add the university name or the year to the design?
Many designs have a second line for a school, a year or a department. Type it into the text box and check the preview before you order.
What's a good gift for a visiting professor at the end of their stay?
A mug or tee with their title and the year works well. It's small enough to pack and gives them a reminder of the term they spent teaching somewhere new.
Can I order matching shirts for a whole department?
Yes. Use the Team Shop to choose one design, paste the list of names, and pick a size for each person. Each shirt prints with its own name.
What sizes do the visiting professor shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a visiting professor gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
