This generous donation is earmarked for the college’s Campaign for Graduate Excellence, which aims to fully endow 30 graduate students. So far, the campaign has already surpassed the midpoint of its $150 million goal.

John L. Nau III has been a long-time supporter of the university, and this isn’t his first major donation. He and the Nau Foundation have previously committed significant funds to support various initiatives, including a $15 million endowment for the Karsh Institute of Democracy, $19.2 million for the John L. Nau III Centre for Civil War History, and $27.5 million for the school’s Democracy Initiative.

“I am truly grateful to John Nau for his extraordinary gift, which will enable us to attract exceptional talent,” said A&S dean Christa Acampora. “At a time when other universities are experiencing a crisis in resources for graduate education, the college is achieving a position of strength, enabling us to foster a vibrant intellectual environment where students can thrive as scholars, mentors, and collaborators.
