Leonard M. Rieser Fellowship

The family and friends of Leonard M. Rieser (1922-1998), chair of the Bulletin’s Board of Directors from 1985 to 1998, established in 1999 the Leonard M. Rieser Fellowships for undergraduate students seeking to conduct research on the connections between science, technology, global security, and public policy.

Special Note: Fellowships will not be awarded in 2009 as Bulletin redesigns the program to respond to evolving student interests and needs.

Upon resuming in 2010, the fellowships will continue to honor Leonard Rieser's dedication to helping young scholars understand these connections. The Bulletin has awarded nearly $80,000 for 22 fellowships to ambitious undergraduates since 1999.

Donors who share Rieser's passion for educating future scientists concerning the opportunities and consequences of technological advances are encouraged to contact Kendal Gladish in the Development Office at 312-364-9710, ext. 10.
