Support the Comparative Literature Department

at the University of Wisconsin-Madison!

The Department of Comparative Literature relies on the generous support of its friends and alumni to help sustain its teaching and scholarly mission.

In this moment of administrative challenge to our viability and importance on campus, letters of support to the campus administration for the Department's unique and important contribution to the liberal arts, the humanities, and the community are most welcome.

And, if you're interested in offering financial support to the Department, we'd be honored. Your financial gift could be used to help us continue our innovative teaching and scholarship on comparative race and ethnicity in a global age, to sustain our international social justice seminar In Cyprus for students from across campus, to provide an undergraduate with new learning opportunities or to support their community based research, or to help a graduate student organize speakers or a conference or to complete their Ph.D. research. You might also choose to endow a student scholarship or a named faculty chair.

While a large gift or an endowment helps sustain our program for the future, a gift in any amount, even a very small one, shows your support for the Department's contribution to the liberal arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and lets the university know how much you value Comparative Literature's presence on campus.

If you would like to make a gift directly, you may do so by sending a check, payable to the "University of Wisconsin Foundation," to:

Department of Comparative Literature
934 Van Hise Hall 1220 Linden Dr.
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Madison WI 53706-1525

You may also make a gift online, using the UW Foundation's secure Online Giving Page at http://uwfoundation.plannedgifts.org. In either case, please be sure to designate the Comparative Literature Department as the recipient of your gift.

For further information on how to support Comparative Literature, please contact the Chair or the Department Administrator at 608-262-3059 or complit@lss.wisc.edu.
