Giving to the Center

Strategic Working Group ImageThe activities of the Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities are made possible largely through the generosity of non-University funding. As part of its ongoing mission to foster interdisciplinary research and public programs in the humanities, the Center is currently seeking to expand its endowment base. Center priorities are for faculty and graduate student fellowship programs, the Forum on the Humanities and the Public World, and the expansion of the Center’s leadership role in the digital humanities through the Townsend Humanities Lab. Please contact Director Anthony J. Cascardi or Associate Director Teresa Stojkov to discuss donations and endowments to the Center.
