In conjunction with the event, the John R. Klauder Memorial Fund has been established through the generosity of Professor Klauder’s family. This fund is an enduring tribute to his legacy and will provide lasting support for graduate research in the Departments of Mathematics and Physics — fields to which he devoted his career with brilliance, vision and passion. We are sincerely grateful for this gift, which will continue to inspire and empower the next generation of scholars.
