Support African American Studies!
There are two distinct ways that you can
offer financial support for our ongoing efforts:
1. The
African American Studies Program Fund
https://www.uff.ufl.edu/OnlineGiving/FundDetail.asp?FundCode=008477
The African
American Studies Program Fund makes
it possible for the program to engage in extracurricular activities
that
promote community building and public programming. Given the
constraints of budgetary
challenges, private sources of funding increase our options for
creating a
supportive environment for interactions among students, faculty, and
the wider
community.
2. The Harry Shaw Travel Fund

The
James Haskins Visiting Scholar Fellowship Endowment Fund honors the memory of the late James Haskins
(1941-2005), a former University of Florida Professor of English and a
distinguished writer who interpreted the African American experience. In well
over 100 books, he exposed children and youth readers to the biographies of
leading African Americans and key aspects of Black culture, social history, and
contemporary life. The scope of his writings also extended beyond Black America
to other parts of the world.
The James Haskins Visiting Scholar Fellowship Endowment Fund provides
the critical resources needed to enable African American Studies to
host emerging and established scholars with research interests that
complement some aspect of the scholarly agenda of faculty within the
program. The African American Studies account code to build this fund
is F013759/013760.
You may also make a gift of cash, appreciated stocks and
bonds, real estate, and through various planned giving opportunities through
the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences Development and Alumni Affairs office.
For more information, please contact Christy Popwell, Director of
Development and Alumni Affairs (352) 392-5412 or cpopwell@uff.ufl.edu.
Thank you for supporting our stability
and growth!
