Every year the KITP Graduate Fellows Program offers a unique, highly-competitive opportunity for a dozen outstanding graduate students to spend six months at KITP to participate in research programs and broaden their understanding of physics. KITP’s graduate fellows come from a variety of sub-fields of theoretical physics, from the best schools around the globe with one purpose – to take advantage of the unique environment that KITP offers, participate in research programs with leaders in their fields, find career mentors, and broaden their understanding of physics. Gifts to the KITP Graduate Fellows Fund support the Program and the recruitment and retention of this next generation of theorists.
In recognition of leadership gifts of $100,000 or more to this endowment campaign KITP is offering permanent recognition in Kohn Hall, and prominent naming opportunities in Kohn Hall and the Charles T. Munger Physics Residence for gifts over $350,000. Whether it is in your own name, or in honor of someone special, there are a number of ways to take advantage of this rare opportunity to join the distinguished community of supporters of the KITP and to play a key role in the future of scientific exploration. Please contact Kristi Newton, Senior Director of Development for the KITP, if you would like to learn more about an estate or outright gift to our endowment campaign.
