Although the state of Alabama makes possible the work carried
out by the faculty and staff of the Department of Religious
Studies, private giving also plays an important role in the
life of the Department.
|
|
From the Aronov
Endowment to the Silverstein
Endowment, the Ulyses
S. Goodwyn Award, and the Amy
Lynn Petersen Endowed Support Fund, the Department's mission
of teaching about religion in a descriptive and cross-culturally
comparative manner is carried out more effectively because
of those who have made us the beneficiaries of their generosity.
|
|
The funds that result from such gifts allow the Department
to provide its students with scholarships and even work experience.
Our faculty's teaching and research also benefit and they
assist us to provide public programs that are open to the
public. Even historic Manly Hall--the place where all of this
work is carried out--has benefited from the foresight of our
donors.
|
|
Gifts to the Department of Religious Studies can be for any
amount and can either be designated by the donor for a specific
purpose or undesignated for general Departmental needs. Gifts
may also be directed toward already existing funds.
|
|
If you would like to discuss the possibility of giving to
the Department, or learn more about our goals and needs, then
please contact the Chair either by mail, phone, or email.
