Priorities for the Future The Center for the Study of New Orleans at Loyola has identified five projects that require private support in order for the center to continue to foster a critical understanding of New Orleans and aid in its renewal.

Endowment ($2 million)

Public Programs ($50,000/year)

An endowment of $2 million will provide approximately $100,000 for an annual operating fund to support the center’s daily operations.

The Center for the Study of New Orleans will continue its popular public programming on a regular basis. Four programs will be presented each academic year featuring noted scholars on New Orleans subjects.

Resident Fellowships ($40,000/year) The center will select fellows who will be responsible for conducting research and holding colloquia to discuss their projects with other scholars in the area. One fellow will be a scholar-in-residence for a semester during the academic year, and will teach one course for the New Orleans Studies minor in addition to conducting research and presenting his/her findings in a public talk. ($30,000) Two graduate students will come to Loyola during the summer to conduct research and to lecture for the New Orleans Institute. ($5,000 each)

The New Orleans Institute ($20,000/year) This institute will consist of two academic courses and a series of speakers, field trips, and events that will immerse students in the culture, society, and environment of New Orleans. Students will be selected by the center’s steering committee on the basis of their GPAs and interest in the subject. Stipends and free tuition accompany the institute’s selections. New Orleans Exchange Program ($1,000/student) This program will allow students from other Jesuit universities to exchange places with Loyola students for one semester and take courses in the New Orleans Studies minor. Exchange students will be selected on the basis of their GPAs and a written essay explaining their interest in the subject.

“The New Orleans studies minor draws on the deep expertise of our faculty in the academic study of New Orleans—its history, music, art, literature, ecology, politics, and social structures. It offers students a unique chance for interdisciplinary study through the prism of place and for experiential learning in a city that’s like no other.” —Provost Edward J. Kvet
