Reason Established: Established as an organizational unit of the College of Liberal Arts, the Glasscock Center is dedicated to fostering and celebrating the humanities and research among the community of scholars at Texas A&M University and in the world. In addition to bringing scholars together around a particular theme for lecture series and conferences in alternate years, the Glasscock Center awards annually the national Susanne M. Glasscock Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship, and also supports humanities students and faculty at Texas A&M University with a number of funding opportunities. The center also holds a monthly colloquium during the academic year, where faculty and graduate students present their works-in-progress to gatherings of interested colleagues. The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research is named in honor of an extraordinary gift from Melbern G. Glasscock '59 and Susanne M. Glasscock, which constitutes a sustaining endowment for the center.
