Transition. If one word characterized the Center for Humanities & the Arts in 2021-2022, it would be transition. The Center lost all its full-time staff by the end of March 2022, but we were aided by undergraduate and graduate part-time student workers, the faculty steering committee, the community advisory board, and Graduate School staff. Transition may be a word that emblematizes much of arts and humanities since our fields are in states of flux and fluidity, a strength since we never want to feel stale or stagnant. To that end, this new Annual Report model reflects the transition we are making to a leaner and more agile CHA, one that continues to emphasize the vitality of arts and humanities at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ and beyond!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Ho, CHA Director
Student Support
The CHA provides campus-wide fellowships and highly competitive travel grants for graduate students working in the humanities and the arts. These fellowships and grants are used to recruit incoming students, provide support in completing doctoral dissertations, and aid in scholarly research by providing summer stipends and travel to conferences where they will present a paper or, for those in the arts, perform or display their work.
