Prof. Patrick Rumble answers questions after classThe Department of French and Italian appreciates your interest in supporting our mission. Through the dedication of our faculty and staff, as well as the generosity of our donors and longtime supporters, we continue to have one of the nation's largest classroom enrollments in French and Italian language, literature and culture at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels.

Our international involvement and consistently high rankings nationwide testify to our efforts to extend our educational mission, our research, and our outreach to the Greater Madison community, the State of Wisconsin, and the world. In these days of economic uncertainty, we recognize that our future success depends, more than ever, on the generosity of our supporters.

The Department of French and Italian continues to generate funds through grants and gifts from foundations to help support its mission; yet it is quite often the gift from individual donors that makes the most difference. Your gift will not only help us fund and improve undergraduate and graduate education, it will also foster the sense of community that our department has been building for well over a century and a half.

Please consider supporting our mission.
It is quick, convenient, and will make a world of difference.
