Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, a research and travel fund for students has been established in memory of our beloved colleague Paula Blank. The fund will provide professional development opportunity support for English majors studying early modern literature, either through coursework or an independent project. For example, the fund could support attendance at conferences and workshops, travel for research, participation in internships, or attendance or production of performances of early modern drama. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity to perpetuate Paula’s legacy of supporting and mentoring her students as they develop their interests in the literature Paula loved so much. Please spread the word as widely as you can. Donations should be mailed to the College of William & Mary Foundation, PO Box 1693, Williamsburg, VA 23187. In the memo line, use allocation 4145 to ensure that it goes to the Paula Blank Fund. For online giving, use this link: give to Paula Blank Fund.
