The 部门 of Languages, Literatures and 语言学 is a vibrant place! You can keep it so by giving to the areas that matter to you most. Here’s where your gift might go:

• 奖学金 The 部门 has an array of endowed scholarships available. However, many provide very small awards. When you make a donation to LLL, you can designate a specific scholarship (under Comments in the donation form).

  • 罗纳德·W. 邓巴奖学金.  Endowed scholarship in the name of Ronald Dunbar, Professor of German and chair from 1991- 2010.

• 出国留学 Our degree program requires students to study abroad for at least 6 weeks. Every student needs the extra support to make study abroad a reality. If you are an alumnus, you know just how important that experience is.
• 实习 We are building our internships for students. 最近, we partnered with Southern Indiana Education Center for our students to teach 英语 to adult migrant workers at the Melon Acres Farm in Indiana (see State Magazine Winter 2019). Most internships are unpaid, yet students have costs (especially gas money) to participate.
• 通用语之家 is a dedicated floor in Burford Hall for students of languages. Funding for 通用语之家 will support student activities on the floor. Our long-term goal is to purchase an old fraternity house and open a language house that would allow our students to experience true immersion and a living/learning community dedicated to languages 和文化s.
• 演讲嘉宾 Each year the department brings a guest speaker to talk to students about preparing for careers in languages, 语言学, 和文化. It is important for our students to hear from professionals, but such events cost the department money for transportation. Perhaps you will be our next guest speaker!
