The Friends of the
Humanities was established in Lafayette, Louisiana in 1989 as a
non-profit organization dedicated to:
Enhancing the role of the interdisciplinary humanities at the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL) and in
Acadiana
Generously providing various means of support to the College of
Liberal Arts at the ULL
Strengthening the resources of the
University's humanities
program
The Friends of the Humanities believes learning, like
friendship, is a life-long experience which goes beyond the
classroom. The Friends meets the needs of individuals
throughout the region by fostering interest in cultural issues and
learning in Acadiana.
Still
growing
Beginning with ten founding members, the membership of the
Friends of the Humanities has grown dramatically since
1989. Since that time, almost $300,000 has been
contributed by the organization in the form of grants to worthy
faculty, students and groups involved in the humanities. The
organizations's success and rapid growth bear witness to its
commitment to the continuous pursuit of knowledge and to its support
of the dynamic leadership in the cultural life of
Acadiana.
