Now Accepting Applications for the Freyberger Professor Faculty Fellowship
The Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center is now accepting applications for the Freyberger Professor of Pennsylvania German Studies Faculty Fellowship. The Freyberger Professorship will be relaunched in the fall of 2023 as a faculty fellowship for the two-year appointment of a Kutztown University professor to coordinate the interdisciplinary Pennsylvania German Studies Minor, pursue grant funding for the Heritage Center’s physical and programmatic needs and showcase leading scholarly research through the development of an annual Freyberger Professor Lecture Series. The Freyberger Professorship was established in 1991 through an endowment created by Dr. Ruth M. Freyberger ’35 for the purpose of supporting and enhancing the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center through academic and classroom links to Pennsylvania German Studies at Kutztown University. The Freyberger Professorship was the first endowed chair position of its kind in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Applicants must supply a letter of intent and curriculum vitae by Saturday, April 15 for review by the Freyberger Professorship Selection Committee via Heritage Center Director Patrick J. Donmoyer: donmoyer@kutztown.edu.
