1985-1987 - Population Studies Center - University of Michigan

A RENEWALIn the same year that the Center turned 25, Ronald Freedman announced his retirement from the University ofMichigan. Ron served inthe Department of Sociology for 40 years. He was the founder and first director of thePopulation Studies Center, and has always been at the heart of its world-wide reputation.To honor his work, the Center has established the Ronald Freedman Fund for International Population Activities.The Center's goal is to raise an endowment of $100,000 -$125,000 that will generate income for key activitiesthat link the Center with its alumni and other Third World scholars in the field. These include short-term fellowships,workshops, and travel to develop new research.Contributions to the Fund in its first year have been extremely generous. We have received gifts and pledgesfrom 110 individuals, including 41 of the Center's 129 PhD alumni. These gifts meet 65 percent of our goal. Inaddition, the Ford Foundation has made a grant of $25,000 to be expended for the purposes of the Fund.Ron and Deborah Freedman and all of the Center staff are extremely grateful to the following friends for theirgifts to the Freedman Fund.CONTRIBUTORS TO THE RONALD FREEDMAN FUND FOR INTERNATIONAL POPULATION ACTIVITIESGardner and Bonnie AckleyArjun L.
