You Make Us Great
The Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature (successor to the Departments of Humanities and Comparative Literature) is at the forefront of comparative, interdisciplinary research and teaching in the humanities. Our distinguished and award-winning faculty mentor students in two PhD-granting graduate programs and two undergraduate major tracks.
The department has a number of initiatives under way for fostering a rich and fruitful educational experience for our graduates and undergraduates alike; where your support can make a very meaningful difference.
Your tax-deductible contribution provides our students with encouragement and vital financial support. It gives our faculty resources for enlarging knowledge and understanding. It helps to build and sustain a distinguished reputation for the department.
What Your Gift Can Do

- A distinguished faculty: Creating endowed chairs, professorships and supporting interdisciplinary research centers and programs will help us recruit and retain outstanding faculty.

- A diverse and engaged undergraduate student body: Although we are attracting better students than ever before, too many other outstanding students choose other institutions, often for financial reasons. Merit and need-based scholarships are needed to recruit many outstanding students.
