PURPOSE: The fund was established to assist a JCU French, German or Spanish major with the financing of his/her summer, semester or year abroad in order to deepen and broaden his/her linguistic and cultural background. Such use of the fund is most representative of Dr. Fabien’s humanistic and cosmopolitan educational ideal and a worthy monument to his contributions to the education of countless JCU graduates. The grant will be awarded every year.
CONTRIBUTORS: Friends and alumnae/alumni of Dr. Fabien and of the German Section of the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Cultures contributed these funds to be applied exclusively to further the educational goal of a JCU language major. |
