The English Department at the University of California, Davis
Announces the creation of the
Friends of English
Who are the “Friends of English”?
Friends of English encourages alumni and community members to stay connected to the English Department and to the reading and study of literature. “Friends” will be invited to attend scholarly talks and readings by our own sterling creative writers, and receive our annual departmental newsletter. In return, “Friends” will be helping the department continue to achieve distinction by supporting graduate and undergraduate fellowships and awards, supporting faculty and student research, and sponsoring public lectures and readings.
