Humanities Research Awards
Humanities Research Awards are College of Liberal Arts-sponsored grants that provide funding for tenured and tenure-track faculty whose work falls within the disciplines of the humanities. The awards support faculty in their efforts to bring to completion a research project already in progress, and the expectation is that the recipient will produce one or more publications and make his or her work known to the academic community through conferences and other venues. The award is $5,000 for three consecutive years, for a total of $15,000. We are preparing to announce the 2019 competition.

Graduate Studies
Our office takes a special interest in the success of graduate students in the College of Liberal Arts, from the period of enrollment and through graduation. We collaborate with the Dean of the Graduate School, with the Graduate Student Assembly, and with graduate student organizations to stay on top of campus-wide efforts that support the graduate student population and meet challenges that arise with the changing economy and job market trends. Within the college, we work closely with academic programs and graduate coordinators.
We continually seek to improve campus resources and procedures to benefit graduate students in the areas of professional development, funding, work-life balance, mentorship, career planning, and placement in academic and other training-related jobs.
Please stay in touch with us as you begin to advise and mentor graduate students and familiarize yourself with College expectations in these areas. Our Graduate Studies page provides information on our work, and can serve as an entry point for policies, resources, and data on demographics, placement, and more.
