Bruce Elliot Donovan Memorial Endowment

Undergraduate Funding

Established in 2017 through a generous gift on behalf of its namesake, the Bruce Elliot Donovan Memorial Endowment honors its namesake by encouraging student-faculty collaborations in and out of the undergraduate classroom—the sorts of interactions Bruce Donovan privileged in his own teaching and advising over a forty-year career at Brown.

The Endowment supports activities under five broad categories:

  1. Teaching
  2. Research
  3. Pedagogy and technology
  4. Outreach
  5. Advising and mentoring

Students and/or faculty involved in any undergraduate activity falling under these rubrics may apply to the Donovan Endowment for support. Undergraduate students interested in requesting support from the Donovan Fund should contact the department at classics_department@brown.edu.
