The Institute of International Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) published a special report to commemorate its 100th year of supporting endangered and exiled scholars around the world. This publication, titled “A Beacon of Hope,” details the milestones, achievements and voices of scholars, partners and IIE leaders from 1920 to 2020.
Many Consortium member-institutions such as Trinity College, Connecticut College, Columbia University, Rutgers University and Yale University are mentioned in the report. Consortium scholar Binalakshmi Nepram, whose work advocating for gender rights and a women-led disarmament movement in her home state of Manipur in northeast India, is featured under Partners: Joining with IIE to Save Lives and Advance Knowledge, together with host institution Connecticut College.
