Donate to Recognize a Friend, Professor, or Loved One
Did you know that you can make a donation to UMW that is specifically designated for the Department of English and Linguistics? Please consider honoring that professor who changed your life, one of your friends from college, or a loved one who valued literature and learning by making a donation in his or her name. Or simply designate your gift to benefit the entire Department, as done by recent alumni such as Kathleen Nicole Watson, ’10. Thank you for giving back!
