When you give, you support our students, fuel our research, & more!

Our sincere thanks to the many alumni and friends who have generously supported the University of Wisconsin’s Department of German, Nordic and Slavic+ in the past and present. Private gifts are increasingly critical to ensure that our programs maintain their stature as some of the nation’s premier programs.

Your donations help us with a wide range of departmental undertakings including providing assistance to promising undergraduate majors, hosting stimulating series of talks and other scholarly activities, and supporting the research and teaching of top faculty and graduate students. Your gift can also support cultural activities on campus of interest to students and the greater Madison community.
