Polish Studies Fund

Support the study of Polish at Rutgers! Your donation will send a signal that Polish must remain a taught language at our university. With your help, we also will support our students by organizing events, such as a Polish film series hosted by a local scholar, bring invited speakers, and fund more upper-level Polish language courses!

Polish at Rutgers is a vibrant program, which now has its own Slavic and East European Studies minor! In 2025-2026, support from donors like you allowed REELL to bring Lisa Kheresh (Harvard), who presented Wielka majówka (1981) as part of our film series. We’re printing student-designed t-shirts and paying the Dobro Slovo Honors Society initiation fee for all eligible students.

Next year, with enough support, we would like to expand our Polish film screenings and bring more exciting speakers, who center Poland in their research. Don’t be a stranger – attend our events!

Give $25 and pay for a t-shirt or one Dobro Slovo fee!

Give $50 and pay for one Friday lunch-and-film screening!

Give $500 and we bring a local speaker to give a guest lecture. Give even more and we cater a dinner for everyone!

Give $1000 and we fly someone out for a visit!
