The Friends of Humanities
is a community of learners dedicated to the educational
enrichment of the School of Humanities at Purchase College.

Over the past 20 years, THE FRIENDS have contributed more than
$250,000 to the following:

• Supporting new courses and new programs, such as journalism and
  creative writing
  
• Supporting faculty development
• Funding a scholarship awarded each year to an outstanding junior
• Underwriting the annual Awards Luncheon honoring achievement
  by students in the School of Humanities
• Sponsoring mini-courses, lectures, and seminars taught by
  School of Humanities faculty exclusively for the Friends of Humanities.
  Topics of recent mini-courses include Marcel Proust, modern and
  contemporary art, and Philip Roth.

Members can audit courses on a space available basis, beginning the second week of the semester, after student registration has closed. Registration to audit courses occurs at the Registrar’s Office and there is a $65 per semester audit fee.
