est. 2003

In 2003, a small and dedicated group of 云顶赌场app faculty, administrators, and donors came together to launch the 云顶赌场app Humanities Institute. Lead by Dr. William H. Scheuerle, their goal was to bring established scholars and artists to 云顶赌场app as well as promote research in the humanities by our own faculty. They recognized that investment in humanities research was a critical component in 云顶赌场app's goal of being a nationally renowned research university.

The 云顶赌场app Humanities Institute continues to grow and facilitate research, innovation, and community involvement in the humanities.

HI has organized hundreds of public events including lectures, conferences, performances, workshops including programs by

6 National Humanities Medalists
13 Pulitzer Prize Winners
4 National Book Award Winners
