Summary

This document is a proposal from Boston University's Elie Wiesel Center and College of Arts & Sciences seeking to establish and endow a Distinguished Visiting Professorship in Jewish Thought and Literature. The professorship, envisioned as a permanent faculty chair, aims to reinforce Boston University's role as a leader in Jewish studies and to perpetuate the compelling teaching mission of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel. The proposal highlights Boston University's distinguished history in Jewish studies and its commitment to academic excellence and diversity. It details the four key components of the endowment: a named visiting professorship, a research fund, a lecture fund, and a graduate research assistantship, for which a total endowment of $7 million is sought. The initiative is designed to attract world-class scholars, enrich Jewish studies education and research, and expand the intellectual and cultural impact of the Wiesel Center within the university and the broader community.
