Today's the day! @IowaEnglish and our 915 majors are doing our part to save the humanities! You can do yours, and have your gift matched, by donating any amount at this link: donate.givetoiowa.org/s/1773…
Wondering how to help the English department during #1DayforIowa? There are multiple ways to (hopefully!) win the English department some future funding for scholarships, exciting community events, and more! We also hope you consider donating: 1dayforiowa.org/ecw24
