Investing in People
The
School of Humanities offers nationally renowned instruction
and research that inspire cultural, historical, aesthetic,
and philosophical understanding. Supporting the work of our
students and faculty in our departments and programs is the
number one priority for the School.
Outstanding humanities
research depends not on highly expensive equipment, but rather
on the ability of talented scholars to consult original sources,
to work collaboratively with other scholars, and the dedicated
time to developing new theses in their respective fields.
Listed
below are suggested ways you can support this important work
through your gift or pledge. Thank you for your interest in
the Humanities!
Graduate Support
Graduate students are charged
with both mastering and innovating their fields through original
research that challenges assumptions and inspires new understandings.
Our graduate students also bring the most recent scholarship
to the undergraduate students they teach and mentor.
Outstanding
graduate students attract the best faculty members who, through
their research and instruction, continue to elevate UCI within
the ranks of the nation’s
best universities.

An endowed chair is the
highest honor that can be bestowed on a faculty member. By
naming an endowed chair, a donor can instantly raise the national
recognition of the Department while also making a permanent
and important contribution to the School.
The endowed faculty fellowship will be used to draw the most
promising scholars and teachers to UC Irvine. The strength
of the School of Humanities attracts the very best scholars;
endowed research funds ensure that the School is able to compete
successfully with the packages offered by our peers.

support in perpetuity for our very best students.

The intellectual vitality of

and conversations with each other. Both endowed gifts of $350,000
and annual gifts of $15,000 allow a donor to name a lecture
series.
Investing in Bricks and Mortar
Humanities Gateway, the future home to Humanities multidisciplinary centers, including the International Center for Writing and Translation and the Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture; as well as academic departments, such as Art History and Film and Media Studies; is on schedule to open in Summer 2009.
From the state-of-the-art screening room to the International Courtyard, the newest addition to the Humanities Plaza will truly be a gateway, offering students, faculty and the community a premiere space for engagement with the Humanities .
