CSEEES Launches Buckeye Funder Campaign "60 Years of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies"
Founded 60 years ago in 1965 by Professor Leon Twarog, the Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) supports the study of Central Asia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Russia, and Southeastern Europe at The Ohio State University. CSEEES' overall goal is to promote the study, knowledge, and teaching of this region and its languages at The Ohio State University, in the state of Ohio, in the Midwest, and beyond. In addition to fostering East European and Eurasian language and area studies on campus, CSEEES has an outreach program that extends throughout the state of Ohio and the Midwest. Since 1988, CSEEES has administered an interdisciplinary Master of Arts degree, and has educated nearly 200 experts with high-level language skills and cultural expertise to work in business, government and education.
Funds are being sought to continue and strengthen Ohio State’s already strong tradition of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies: funding student professional development, travel and research in the region, a vibrant events calendar, outreach across the state of Ohio, teacher trainings available around the world, and support for students to study less-commonly taught languages, currently including Bosnian, Croatian, Modern Greek, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Uzbek and Yiddish.
Our goal is to receive 60 donations, one for each year of the Center’s history, so please share with your classmates and colleagues. Help us continue our tradition of excellence!
