Stahl Center approved for second year
Sam and Helen Stahl Center's application for a second year of funding from the Legacy Heritage Jewish Studies Project has been approved by the Association for Jewish Studies. The second and final year of the grant brings $11,000 for public programming in 2012-2013, to accompany matching funds already secured.
The theme for the series will be "Roots & Restlessness: Jewish Lives in the Arts," and will feature lectures, readings, an art exhibit, and a concert. All of the events in the series will be Year of the Arts events as well, and the support of the Peck School of the Arts has been instrumental to making this application possible.
The project aims to promote sustained Jewish Studies programming in mid-sized and smaller cities and to foster relationships between scholars and the wider communities in which they work. UWM’s Jewish Studies program was one of just four nationwide to be awarded the grant for the coming year.
