Founders Day Celebration
Friday, May 19, 2023

Since its founding, the Institute for Advanced Study has been an incubator and accelerator for groundbreaking ideas and scholarship. Founders Day recognizes Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld, the sibling philanthropists who founded and endowed IAS on May 20, 1930, providing for its lasting and essential independence. Each May, we celebrate their vision and that of our donors, Faculty, Board, Members, and Staff, who together ensure that the work of the Institute is as vital today as it ever has been.
