From Tulane University’s English Departmental website:
“The Department of English has received a gift of $250,000 with a total pledge of 1.5 million dollars over the next five years to set up a Creative Writing Fund. The gift, made by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous will allow the department to enhance its course offerings in Creative Writing, to bring a high-profile writer to campus every semester as a Distinguished Writer in Residence, to bring other writers to do readings and workshops with students, to create greater opportunities for student programming and publishing in creative writing and to use creative writing as a focal point for community outreach and service learning.”
