Make a difference in public education & research
With more than 100 undergraduate majors and minors, the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages is one of the strongest departments of its kind in the nation. Whether sitting in a seminar or working on an honors thesis, our students treasure the close relationships they build with our 19 full-time faculty members.
Our world-class faculty and the exceptional students who come to study at Carolina are key to the success of our department. Private support from friends and alumni has played an equally crucial role. Over the years, private gifts have enabled us to support undergraduate research, promote learning outside the classroom, send students to present their work at national conferences, ensure excellence in undergraduate teaching, bring in outside experts to meet with our students, help students study abroad, recruit top-notch graduate students—and much, much more.
Please consider supporting our exemplary students by making a gift to the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures today. To make a gift, please visit our online giving page.
