UMass Lowell's Kerouac Center for American Studies - The Jack and Stella Kerouac Center for American Studies was founded in 2005 with generous support provided by Kerouac Estate Executor John Sampas. Its purpose is to strengthen the interdisciplinary study of American culture by facilitating ties between the fields of English, History, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Art, Music, Sociology, and Economics at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, in the New England region, and beyond.
