As we move into the future and face continuing budget cuts at the university, MUNFLA and the Folklore Department have been able to continue its support of students and researchers through added support from several recent generous donations. As you may have read in the Department of Folklore newsletter, the support has funded many new public initiatives, allowed us to complete some much needed and overdue updates to our spaces and equipment, and has given us the opportunity to name our inaugural Herbert and Violetta Halpert Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MUNFLA. Increased donations to our endowment fund will help us continue the postdoctoral position, expand our student and visiting scholars research support, bring visiting scholars to campus (including many of our distinguished alumni), and help support new community engagement initiatives in the province such as the community field school. Consider MUNFLA and the Folklore Department in your charitable donations. Your support will help shape the next generation of folklorists!
