BIG GIVE IS OVER, BUT YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE PROGRAMS.

Italian Studies

Your support allows the Department of Italian Studies to meet core needs and to facilitate research and teaching.

The department’s illustrious history dates to the 1920s, and its faculty, permanent and visiting, present and past, includes some of the most distinguished scholars and representatives of Italy, its language, literature, history, and culture. The department is widely acknowledged to be one of the leaders and innovators in our field in North America and internationally. While the department has strong roots in its traditional mission of teaching and promoting the language and literature of Italy, it has broadened its scope to include multiple perspectives and to view the country, its language, and its peoples in regional, national, European, Mediterranean, and even global contexts, from the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the present day. Your gift ensures that we continue to meet the core needs of our students and faculty.
