We Encourage, and Thank You,
for Your Support
A special thank you to all of our generous donors
over the past year. Your contributions are valued and help
the department continue its tradition of excellence. Gifts
received over the years have developed into undergraduate
student scholarships, two faculty chairs to secure the
brightest and best professors, and fellowships that attract
the best graduate students to Minnesota.
Classical and Near Eastern Studies considers support
for graduate fellowships as its most significant need.
The importance of these fellowships cannot be overstated.
Fellowships allow the department to recruit the very best
students from across the country and once here, allow
those students to take full advantage of field work programs.
If you would like to make a gift to support graduate
students in the department of Classical and Near
Eastern Studies, please go to www.giving.umn.edu. If you
would like to double the impact of your gift through the
21st Century Graduate Fellowship match or the Promise
of Tomorrow Scholarship match program, please contact
me today at 612-625-5031 or hicks002@umn.edu.
Thank you for making an investment that truly
makes a difference.
