Here are just a few examples of the many ways that your generosity affects the lives of our students.  The 2009 Humanities Annual Awards were given to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students to honor their scholarly accomplishments over the past year.  We would like to congratulate all of the student recipients of this year's awards, as well as thank our many supporters for their very important contributions to the success of Humanities students.
