Dear UConn community,
As reported in the national media recently, the NEH and NEA are in danger of being eliminated or gravely cut. We write to remind all that at UCHI we are committed to producing knowledge, critical dialogue, and facilitating access to ideas, all principles fundamental to the study of the humanities and arts. Our own programming attempts to reflect the broad scope and diversity of ideas in conversation at UConn. We are also open to suggestions about strengthening and promoting dialogues about the importance of the arts and humanities on campus and beyond.
In that vein, we would also encourage all to contact your elected officials and show support for the NEH and NEA. All of our scholarship and institutions are stronger for the opportunities these institutions provide. Their loss would be devastating, and potentially permanent.

Many thanks.
Cheers,
Michael Lynch, Director, UCHI
and
Alexis Boylan, Associate Director, UCHI
