Abstract

The permanently-established Slovak Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh partly benefits from the lingering awareness of Slovak pre-World War I immigrant heritage in south-western Pennsylvania, but its target audience is the sum total of the university’s students. An initial incentive from several fraternals, teaching a variety of courses that meet multiple graduation requirements, high student course evalua-tions, and building awareness through the Slovak Studies Program website (http://www.pitt.edu/~votruba) are among the contributing factors to the program’s status and continued success.
