Gaines Center for the Humanities

The Gaines Annual Fund underpins everything from curricular enrichment to travel and research opportunities for our Gaines Fellows. In 2021, the Annual Fund allowed us to support a curricular field trip to Red River Gorge, during which our juniors fellows were able to connect their seminar work on mountain narratives with the journaling of their own rural experiences.
