The Center for Advanced International Studies at the University of Miami has received an initial grant of $20,000 from the Ralph Levitz Family Fund of the Foundation of Jewish Philanthropies of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, UM president Henry King Stanford announced. The grant, first of a series, Dr. Stanford said, is to be used at the discretion of Dr. Mose Harvey, director of the UM Center, in support of a continuing seminar study group on Middle East-Israeli affairs and for the development of a major research-studies program for the Middle East-Israeli area. This grant, Dr. Stanford said, “will enable the Center to contribute immediately and directly to a better understanding of the crucial role Israel is currently playing in world affairs.”
