Generous Faculty Gift
We are thrilled to announce the Charles and Kay Moran Graduate Scholarship in Composition and Rhetoric, a gift of recently retired faculty Professor Emeritus Charlie Moran and his wife, Kay. This is the Moran’s second large gift to the department, the first being for the creation of a lovely department meeting room (which we’ve been enjoying for our weekly colloquia and other events since 2000). This year, the Moran’s have donated $40,000 as seed money for an endowment we hope will grow through additional gifts to support scholarships of $1000 to $2000 to Composition and Rhetoric graduate students. Such a gift increases our ability to attract superior students and uphold our reputation as one of the top graduate programs nationwide in composition and rhetoric. Thank you, Charlie and Kay, for this gift and for the legacy you’ve bequeathed to our community in so many ways.

To Our Supportive Community
We thank all of you listed below for your generosity to the English Department. Your gifts directly support events that enrich and celebrate our department: special lectures, our annual Awards Night, outreach appeals, and undergraduate and graduate community-building activities. As we work to enhance our mission as a community, your support is both helpful and inspiring. Thank you! The English Department faculty and staff.
