Pamela Frailey Faggert, a retired Dominion Energy senior vice president with experience in both enforcing and meeting environmental regulatory compliance in industry, has been named the 2020 Brenton S. Halsey Distinguished Visiting Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. Faggert is the 22nd industry executive to serve as Halsey Professor since the James River Corporation endowed the position to honor one of the company's founders. The professorship was established to bring to Grounds industry leaders in chemical engineering and related fields whose broad practical experience can influence the education, scholarship and professional development of undergraduates in the UVA School of Engineering. Faggert received her bachelor's in chemical engineering from UVA in 1979 and later earned an MBA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She began her career at the Mobil Corporation (now Exxon Mobil), where she served on the internal environmental audit team. In 1987, Faggert began working in state government as a regional permit engineer, and worked her way up to director of the air division of what is today the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. In 1994, she went to Dominion Energy, where she retired as chief environmental officer and senior vice president for sustainability. She has significant experience as a public speaker; has held numerous leadership roles in industry associations; and served on environmental, education and community boards.
