Weissberg Chair in Human Rights
The Weissberg Chair in Human Rights, established in 1999, each year brings to campus a distinguished individual who has made important contributions to understanding and defending human rights on the international stage. Weissberg Chairs contribute new perspectives to the teaching and learning taking place on the Beloit College campus and typically spend from one week to ten days in residence. Their residencies serve as a catalyst for conversations across campus and throughout the disciplines taught at Beloit College about the importance of preparing students to understand, promote, and defend human rights. The Weissberg Professorship is underwritten and supported by Marvin Weissberg, a business leader, and his daughter Nina Weissberg'84.
