Lectures & Events: Nielsen Issues in Philanthropy
Before appointing its first endowed chair, the Center hosted the Waldemar A. Nielsen Issues in Philanthropy Seminar Series. During the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 academic years, a variety of distinguished leaders in philanthropy spent a few days at Georgetown. During these visits participants met with faculty and staff, offered consultation regarding the programming and direction of the Chair, and conducted seminars open to students, faculty, and the public, on issues in American philanthropy.
