It's not the building that counts, but what happened here... to those who came before you and to those who came after you. Hundreds of people forged deep friendships and experienced what are now cherished memories.  --William H. Graham, Sr.

The Hartke Endowment

This is the chair’s discretionary fund that can be used as needed for the good of the department, focusing on scholarships.

The Dean's Scholarship for the Department of Drama

This scholarship funds tuition for one rising senior. It is awarded to a Catholic University undergraduate who has demonstrated outstanding achievement during their college years.

The William H. Graham Young Artists Fund

This fund serves as a reserve fund for unbudgeted expenses such as travel to competitions and conferences, as well as for unforeseen emergency expenses that individual students in the Department of Drama cannot meet on their own.

The fund bears the name of Mr. Graham (1926-2013), who received an M.A. from Catholic University in 1954. He taught drama for 41 years, serving as department chair from 1977 to 1993. In 1970, he founded the Master of Fine Arts acting program, which he continued to lead until 1993.
