The late George L. Mosse, a great historian, teacher, mentor, and friend, graced the UW-Madison campus for some forty years, and The Hebrew University for some twenty years creating a vital and variegated international intellectual community. He has provided the Departments of History at both these institutions with a munificent bequest that aims to make it possible for students in the Humanities to experience that community.
The Graduate Exchage Program allows graduate students from a
variety of fields in the humanities and social sciences at UW–Madison to
spend an academic year at the Hebrew University in order to advance
their studies and to broaden their intellectual and international horizons.
