University in Exile 80th Anniversary files

The New School held a series of events on January 30, 2014, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the University in Exile. This born-digital collection consists of event planning documents such as the invitation, dinner program, and a detailed sequence of events.

New School trustees Henry Arnhold, Michael Gellert, Julien Studley, and Robert Munheim were invited as honored guests to the dinner. Tribute videos of the trustees, as well as a video based on Walter Eberstadt's memoir titled Whence We Came, Where We Went, were probably created by the Development and Alumni Engagement department to honor individuals who made lasting contributions to the university as individuals who had fled their countries because of persecution and who eventually were associated with The New School. The creative brief for the interviews with the trustees and video files are also included in the collection.

The document describes the purpose of the video project, which was to create a series of short videos to recognize NS trustees who were exiled from their countries of origin and became benefactors of the New School later in life. A list of interview questions asked by Dr. Arien Mack is included in the document. The staff and faculty participating in the production of the videos included: New School for Social Research professors William Milberg and Arien Mack; Lori Singer and Kerry Kruckel of the Development And Alumni Engagement department; and Ryan Blum of the Communications and External Affairs (CEA) department.
