Digital Literature Review (DLR) Crowdfunding 2026!

A gift to the English Department helps fund many projects or initiatives such as the 2026-2027 Digital Literature Review.

The Digital Literature Review (DLR) provides English majors the opportunity to turn classroom learning into hands-on experience. Students in the course work in teams to bring the DLR annual undergraduate journal to life, gaining valuable professional experience in editing, design, outreach, and teamwork. Students in the DLR produce work they can share with future employers or graduate programs, and they develop skills that are crucial for the work English majors do in the world.

Participating in the DLR is a signature experience of our students. The course allows upper-level students to participate in their scholarly community by sharing their work and cultivating connections with peers and faculty. Students maintain a year-long blog that invites audiences to engage with the yearly theme, they visit classes to encourage peers to submit their work and attend DLR special events, and they curate peer-reviewed scholarship that contributes to the discipline.

When you contribute to our crowdfunding campaign, you are helping students develop practical skills and providing them the opportunity to share what they can accomplish as writers, editors, and designers.

*Any additional funds raised will go towards future English Department initiatives or expenses*
