FALL 2000: THE FRIENDS OF THE GHI
FRITZ STERN DISSERTATION PRIZE
The Fritz Stern Dissertation Prize, supported by the Friends of the GHI, is
currently being adjudicated by a panel comprised of Professors Dagmar Herzog
(Michigan State University), Mary Lindemann (Carnegie-Mellon University), and
Peter A. Fritzsche (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). A total of
nineteen nominations were received by the May 15, 2000 deadline, and the panel
members have been reading a selection of dissertations over the course of the
summer. The announcement of the two prizewinners is expected in September, and
their projects will be presented at the annual Friends’ symposium on November
10, 2000, at the GHI. Professor Stern will attend the proceedings.
