Western University has established the James and Eva Good Chair in English Literature. The chair is supported in perpetuity by a $3.5M endowment, composed of a $1.5M gift from alumni Jim and Eva Good, matching funds from the university, and $500K from the existing Dr James and Eva Good Faculty of Arts and Humanities Fund. The endowment will ensure that Western can continue to attract top talent and foster a deep appreciation for literature and the arts among students. “Jim and Eva have always been tremendous champions for the arts and humanities at Western,” said Western President Alan Shepard. “We are grateful for their generous new gift to establish a chair focused on developing and enhancing teaching and research in the department of English and writing studies.”
