Established in 2000, the Jon Miller Endowment for the Humanities recognizes the critical need for the Humanities in our society. Support of this endowment is restricted to the Humanities, including English, history, languages, and the fine arts, and assists the department in meeting unmet needs. Proceeds from this endowment may be used to purchase items such as equipment and classroom materials and supplies, provide for the development of humanities instructors or students through participation in events such as conferences, workshops, competitions, or research opportunities, or meet any other department-specific need as defined by the department head.
