NYU establishes the Jordan Family Center for the Advanced Study of Russia

[Anne L Lounsbery]

New York University's Department of Russian & Slavic Studies is pleased to
announce the establishment of the Jordan Family Center for the Advanced
Study of Russia, thanks to a generous gift from Boris and Elizabeth
Jordan.

The Center's goals are to promote awareness and understanding of Russia
past, present, and future, in all its disciplinary and cultural
manifestations. The Center will bring together faculty from across the
schools of NYU, as well as foster engagement with specialists and leaders
from outside the University. As a unit of the Faculty of Arts and
Sciences, the Center will function under the auspices of the Department of
Russian & Slavic Studies while also benefiting from an advisory board made
up of leading figures in Russian affairs.

In the Fall of 2012, the Center's inaugural year will be marked with a
lecture series and symposium, details of which will be announced soon.
