California State University, Northridge has received an anonymous $2.1 million gift to support its Armenian Studies Program and special collection holdings, Asbarez reports.

The gift establishes an endowed directorship in Armenian Studies in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures in CSUN’s College of Humanities, as well as supports the efforts of the special collections and archives unit of the Oviatt Library to maintain the archives and artifacts of the collection accompanying the generous contribution.

“While the donor chooses to remain anonymous, the impact of a generous gift like this will not be unnoticed,” said CSUN President Dianne F. Harrison. “The gift will touch so many lives. CSUN educates more Armenian students than any other university in the world outside of Yerevan, Armenia. This gift will strengthen an already strong program that provides a foundation of knowledge about Armenian culture and the impact Armenians and Armenian Americans have, not just in California, but throughout the world.”
