Support CHATS

The Center for Humanities, Arts and TechnoScience (CHATS) , a bold interdisciplinary initiative within The College of Arts and Sciences, is dedicated to promoting the exchange between the sciences and humanities and exploring their profound impact on individuals and society. Without the support of alumni, parents, friends, and faculty, CHATS would not be possible. You can make a difference by supporting CHATS through one or more of the following options:

Named Giving Opportunities for CHATS

Professorship in the Humanities

Professors who demonstrate on-going intellectual development and leadership in their fields are crucial in furthering the efforts of CHATS. A gift of $1 million would allow us to fund such individuals and continue the growth of our projects.

Creativity is a big part of what shapes CHATS, and involving new scholars and artists is key to on-going creativity of our Initiative. A gift of $500,000 would allow a Visiting Scholar or Artist to join our team in creating new innovative projects, and expand CHATS impact.

Lecture series encourage, inform, and open discussions on a vast array of topics. A gift of $100,000 would support the importance of educating our academic community on various areas of the Sciences and Humanities listed below:

• Bioethics
• Media Studies
• Humanities (general)
• Technology and Ethics
• Medicine and the Humanities

Lectures and Programs are critical in continuing our efforts to educate our academic community, and offer additional educational opportunities for our students. A gift of $2,500 or more would allow the naming of a lecture or program.

Events, such as the Technology Play Project, encourage our students, faculty, and community to experience the efforts of CHATS. A gift between $1,000 and $2,500 would allow us to continue such events, as well as continue the development of Technology Booths.
