Matching Gift Challenge to Support Center for Judaic Studies
< 1 min read
Robert Cohen ’67 (CLAS) and Barbara Cohen ’67 (CLAS) are launching a matching gift challenge in support of the Fund for the Enhancement of Judaic Studies, which supports programming in the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life. Any gifts made to this fund between now and December 31, 2022, will be matched by the Cohens, up to $25,000.
This gift is the latest in the Cohens’ legacy of support for UConn’s Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life, says the center’s director, Avinoam Patt.
“The Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life is so grateful to the Cohen family for their incredibly generous support,” says Patt. “The Cohen and Henes Scholarship Fund for Judaic Studies benefits undergraduate and graduate students who pursue a course of study in Judaic Studies. Beyond supporting scholarships, the Cohens also established the Fund for the Enhancement of Judaic Studies, thereby creating another means for anyone interested in supporting Judaic Studies at UConn—at any level of giving—to follow their generous example and support this important work.”
