Krouse Family Visiting Scholars in Judaism and Western Culture Fund
This fund was created by Ann and Paul Krouse to support bringing internationally acclaimed scholars to UIUC's campus to deliver lectures, hold seminars, and interact with students and faculty on a variety of levels. The general focus of these presentations would be on Judaism's interactions with, contributions to, and impact of Western ethics, morals, values, philosophy, law, religion, and art. These annual lectures/performances are designed to reach broadly based audiences of Jews and non-Jews and are open to the public.
