Gift and Donation Opportunities

 

Your gift enables our Department of Linguistics community to serve society and maintain its excellence among leading public and private universities.

Gifts from the community, friends and alumni make a difference in our capacity to hire and retain leading faculty and scholars, to attract and fund outstanding graduate students from a broad range of backgrounds, to support a diverse body of undergraduate students, and to undertake research endeavors that can help many communities and advance knowledge about language. Your gift can also be directed to causes that you tell us you are passionate about and that you think linguistics should be involved in (if so, you can then identify your goal). Your gift can support faculty, graduate and undergraduate students to carry out innovative projects addressing new problems, to engage in creative collaborations, to attend conferences and publish their findings. These opportunities help our students prepare for successful careers while they explore exciting ideas about language and linguistics. Your gifts to the department are also tax deductible.
