IIE is thrilled to announce the release of a new publication to commemorate our century-long history of supporting threatened and displaced scholars. A Beacon of Hope: IIE’s First 100 Years of Scholar Rescue celebrates the dedication, resilience, and work of the scholars IIE has assisted since 1920, and it honors our many partners across the globe who have made this possible. The publication offers an in-depth look at IIE’s efforts to support threatened and displaced university students and professionals, from our earliest years, when IIE worked to save academics fleeing fascism in Europe, to the 21st century, when IIE established programs like the Emergency Student Fund (ESF) and Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF).
