Professor Kassow’s 50 Years of Teaching
Wednesday April 27th, 2022
Spring 2022 brings to Trinity College many good things, including the 50th anniversary of Professor Samuel Kassow’s presence as a valued and esteemed member of our faculty.
Over the course of a half-century of teaching Modern Jewish history, Russian history, and Modern European history at Trinity, Sam has inspired countless students and become one of the fondest memories of their student days for generations of alumni.
To celebrate the career of this truly extraordinary scholar, teacher, and Russian historian an evening of events have been planned for Wednesday, April 27th
In the event that you will not be able to join us in person, the panel discussion will be recorded and available here after April 28.
