The premature death from cancer of Zvetlana Tanasa, one of the department’s PhD students, ended the life of a remarkable person and a gifted young scholar. The people who knew Zvetlana best were moved to create the Tanasa Fund as a way to remember her distinct personality and her academic achievements. A number of professors generously offered portions of their honoraria to establish a financial base for a trust fund, the proceeds of which are used to honor exceptional M.A. research.
