Visiting Scholars and Artists
Our Sondra and Howard Bender Visiting Scholar series, International Holocaust Remembrance Day programs, Embodied Judaism symposia, and Israel/Palestine Studies events make CU Boulder a “go-to” location for visiting scholars and artists to share their work with faculty, students, and members of the public. All of our public programming is supported by the David Shneer Fund for Community Programming, Public Scholarship, and the Arts, honoring the memory of our beloved friend and colleague, Professor David Shneer z”l.
