Gerald D. and Norma Feldman Graduate Student Fellowship

Gerald D. and Norma Feldman Graduate Student Fellowship

To honor the memory of Gerald D. Feldman, particularly his dedication to graduate students, the Institute of European Studies has established the Gerald D. and Norma Feldman Graduate Student Fellowship.  In 1994, Gerald Feldman took over the UC Center for German and European Studies, a research center that served the ten campuses of the University of California; in 2000 the Center became part of the newly formed Institute of European Studies. Under his leadership from 1994 to 2006, both the Center and the Institute provided generous funding for students and faculty whose research focused on Europe. The creation of this Fellowship will help sustain the formidable legacy left by the Institute’s
former Director.
