sponsorship of conferences, fellowships, lecture series, seminars,
and visiting professorships. It also sponsors print and electronic
publications of scholarly research through the Devers Series in
Dante Studies, published by the University of Notre Dame Press,
and as a founding member of the ItalNet Consortium for the creation
of scholarly internet resources in the Italian Studies area. The Devers Program also funds an
annual program of research and travel grants for faculty and students.
