FRIENDS OF THE HUMANITIES
Friends of the Humanities was established in 1989 as a non-profit organization dedicated to:
Enhancing the role of the interdisciplinary humanities at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Providing support to the College of Liberal Arts
Strengthening the resources of the University’s humanities program.
The Friends believes that learning, like friendship, is a lifelong experience which goes beyond the classroom. The Friends meets the needs of individuals throughout the region by fostering interest in cultural issues and learning in Acadiana.
Beginning with 10 founding members, the membership of the Friends of the Humanities has grown dramatically. The organization’s success and rapid growth bear witness to its commitment to the continuous pursuit of knowledge and to its support of enriching the cultural life of Acadiana.
“I am excited about the future of the Friends and its desire to move forward with the new initiatives promoting the humanities at UL at Lafayette.”
