Alumni and Friends

The rich and diverse program of the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies is made possible, in large part, by the financial support of friends of the Center. This support includes endowment funds for named lectureships, conferences, publication projects, and the purchase of books for the University’s Mugar Library. In addition, major endowments have been received for new academic chairs in Judaic studies and for the refurbishments of 147 Bay State Road – the former offices of President Emeritus John Silber – as the new home of the Wiesel Center. And last, and very important, endowment funds have been created to assist undergraduate students and to support fellowships for graduate students.

The Center is anxious to expand its activities and would be delighted to discuss opportunities for providing named gifts and endowments, and other forms of support, with potential donors. Interested individuals should contact the Director of the Center, Prof. Steven T. Katz. Contact can be made by either email or phone (617-353-8089).
