Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,
Many members of the community have asked how they might honor the memory of Carol Rifelj and her contributions to the College. I am happy to announce the establishment of the Carol Rifelj Memorial Fund for Faculty Development, and the renaming of the college’s Faculty Lecture Series in Carol’s honor. This important venue for the presentation of the work of Middlebury faculty will henceforth be known as The Carol Rifelj Faculty Lecture Series, and will be supported by the newly established fund for faculty development.
Gifts to the Carol Rifelj Memorial Fund should be sent to Ann Crumb at 5 Court Street, Middlebury, VT 05753. If the endowment we raise produces greater revenue than is needed to support the lecture series each year, funds will be directed toward faculty research support.
Carol’s dedication to the intellectual community of the College will be well represented through this highly visible series of lectures, and her support of faculty research will be continued through this fund.
Best,
Ron
