UCSC Gets Grant for Jewish Studies

The Helen Diller Family will contribute $500,000 toward the establishment of a new Baumgarten Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies, a chair that will cost $1 million.

The school is up to $700,000 for the position and is seeking more grants. 

A $200,000 grant from the Dillers helped to create UCSC’s Center for Jewish Studies—which has evolved over the past 16 years into a sophisticated center of research and learning, serving the largest number of enrolled undergraduates in Jewish Studies at any Northern California post-secondary institution.
