Through a generous gift from Cornell alum Mr. Michael Borkan, The Institute for European Studies at Cornell University is pleased to announce the establishment of this fund in honor of Mr. Borkan’s maternal grandparents, Abraham and Henrietta Brettschneider. The purpose of the Brettschneider fund is to facilitate academic exchanges between Cornell and Oxford University designed to promote scholarly interchange between the two universities, principally in the social sciences and humanities. Awards will be made on a rolling basis. The fund will be administered at Cornell by IES and at Oxford by the Rothermere American Institute. Proposals and inquiries may be directed to the Associate Director of IES, Sydney Van Morgan,: sydney.vanmorgan@cornell.edu or 607-255-7592.
