The Bulletin created the Rieser Fellowship in 1999 in memory of longtime Board chair Leonard Rieser, a Dartmouth physics professor and provost. The fellowships, generously funded by Rieser's family members and friends, support undergraduate students who pursue research projects at the intersection of science, global security, and public policy.
