BU Giving Day/Carrie O’Connor Memorial Fund
Giving Day 2022 at Boston University is Wednesday, April 6!
The RS Department is focused this year on honoring and remembering our late colleague Carrie O’Connor, who died in a tragic accident in September 2020. We are starting a special memorial fund that will enable our undergraduates to study, as she did, in France and elsewhere in the Francophone world.
RS is competing with other departments and will receive a substantial bonus from CAS if we can finish the day among the departments with the greatest increase in the number of donors. Your gift, no matter how small, will thus help us get the Memorial Fund off to a good start, and will be very gratefully received!
You can donate via the Romance Studies Giving Day page, which will open to accept donations at 12:01 am on Wednesday. All donations made through that page will go directly to Romance Studies! If you so wish, please mark your donation “for the Carrie O’Connor Memorial Fund.” On behalf of everyone in RS, many thanks in advance for your generosity.
