The University-Wide Big Give A Huge Success for the History Department

The History Department received a total of $29,375 in support of our Public History program during the University’s Big Give March 6-7, 2024. Thanks to an anonymous major donor, the 46 contributors who participated this year unlocked a $20,000 gift. Another donor matched the first $3,000 in donations dollar-for dollar.

Thanks to these gifts we are able to support new student project, fund research projects, offer student internships, and sponsor workshop and public lectures. 

Many thanks to all who supported the History Department in this way. Look for more opportunities to support us in next year’s Big Give!

Later this spring, an anonymous donor gave $200,000 to support the History Department's H. Duane Hampton Public History Program.  You can read that story here.
