David Shneer Fund for Community Programming, Public Scholarship, and the Arts

TheÌýDavid Shneer Fund for Community Programming, Public Scholarship, and the ArtsÌýsupports all aspects of Jewish Studies public programming, bringing academicsÌýand artists to Boulder for lectures, workshops, symposia,Ìýperformances, and other offerings, and ensuring that our community of learning is precisely that—a genuineÌýcommunity, in which scholars, performers, students, and members of the public can learn, think, and grow together.ÌýThe FundÌýhonors the memory of our beloved friendÌýand colleague, Professor David Shneer, zâ€�l, who passed away in Fall 2020. One of the central beliefs animating David’s career was a commitment to building connectionsÌýbetween the academy and the broader world.ÌýFor him, this relationship-building was more than just one aspect of academic life among others. Rather, it stood at the heartÌýof his vision of what it meant to be a scholar, teacher,Ìýand activist at a public university in the twenty-first century. To celebrate David’s memory and realize this vision, this fund has been inaugurated with a major gift from Eileen and Richard Greenberg, longstanding supporters of the Program in Jewish Studies, and close friends of David’s.
