The Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at
Clark University is an exciting forum for education about the
Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, and other genocides around the
globe. Dedicated to teaching, research, and public service, the Center
trains the Holocaust historians and genocide studies scholars of the
future. The mission of the Center reaches beyond the boundaries of the
University: to provide a lecture series free of charge and open to the
public; to educate professionals of many fields about genocide and the
Holocaust; to use scholarship to address current problems stemming
from the murderous past; and to engage the world in which we live by
providing an educated voice in the public arena.
Clark University is a private, co-educational liberal-arts research
university with 2,200 undergraduate and 800 graduate students. Since
its founding in 1887 as the first all-graduate school in the United
States, Clark has challenged convention with innovative programs such
as the International Studies Stream, the Strassler Family Center for
Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the accelerated BA/MA programs with
the fifth year tuition-free for eligible students. The University is
featured in Loren Pope's book, "Colleges That Change Lives."
