Working with ARC

You can help. As an initiative dedicated to crossing boundaries between units within the university and opening avenues between the university and the public, ARC needs the support of many constituencies, both on campus and in the community. If you have an interest in furthering the study and appreciation of the religions and cultures of Asia, please consider joining us in this venture. Programming. The ARC initiative is primarily a facilitator of the interests of its various constituencies. It seeks to bring related interests together, to build working connections among groups, and to translate ideas into actual programs. If you have suggestions for programs that might be appropriate for ARC, please share them with us and join with us in making them happen. Funding. The ARC initiative was launched by a startup grant from the Stanford President's Fund. Although it continues to receive support from various units of the university, the initiative needs help from the community in order to build on its successes and develop its full potential. If you or your organization would like to support the ARC mission or any of its programs, please consider a contribution to the initiative. Contributions may range from one-time support for a particular event, through sponsorship of one of ARC's programs, to a named fund to endow the initiative in perpetuity. Joining us. ARC seeks to create a network of organizations and individuals with shared interests in the religions and cultures of Asia. If you or your organization would be interested in joining this network, whether as a cooperating group, a sponsor, or simply a member of our mailing list, please contact us. Contacting us. You may reach the ARC offices through our website contact form, or through mail, phone, fax, or e-mail: Asian Religions & Cultures Building 70, Room 71E Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 www.scbs.stanford.edu/ARC wabraham@stanford.edu phone: 650-725-6025 fax: 650-724-9573
