Select a Seat…

You are invited to make a difference for graduate education
through our Select a Seat...Support a Student campaign. For a $1,000 donation, faculty, staff, alumni and friends can purchase a seat in the state-of-the-art film screening room located in our spectacular new Humanities Gateway Building, which will be complete in summer 2009. In return for your generous gift, a plaque with your name (or a name of your choice) will adorn a seat in the screening room auditorium. The 90-seat screening room will allow faculty and students to view films as intended by filmmakers, offering a true cinematic experience. More importantly, the screening room addresses the diverse technological needs of our programs, providing facilities for Art History and Film and Media Studies comparable to those found at other premier institutions with strong programs in the visual arts.

Support a Student…

The funds raised through this campaign will establish an endowment to support summer graduate fellowships, providing needed additional financial aid for our talented students.

"In appreciation for what the humanities can bring to our daily lives, please consider a gift in support of this campaign--it will benefit our students tremendously.”

– Vicki L. Ruiz, Dean
