We depend on the support of our alumni and friends to maintain the superior quality of our educational programs. Without your generosity, we would be unable to provide the unique opportunities which make the Department of French and Italian at Indiana University one of the most vibrant of its kind in the country.
You have a number of giving options through our Indiana University Foundation accounts:
French and Italian Enrichment Fund
Gifts to this account make possible our French Club and the Circolo Italiano, cocurricular programs that help establish solid language skills and make language learning practical and fun. This fund also provides teaching awards for our best associate instructors, who are graduate students in our programs.
Albert Valdman Graduate Student Research and Travel Fund
Gifts to this account support research and travel for graduate students in French linguistics.
Professor Michael Berkvam Graduate Student Fund
