CIUS establishes Struk Program

TORONTO - In memory of Prof. Danylo Husar Struk who died on June 19, the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies is establishing the Danylo Husar Struk Program in Ukrainian Literature at the Toronto office of CIUS. Plans are for the program to develop into a major center for research and publishing in the field of Ukrainian literature.

The primary aim of the Danylo Husar Struk Program in Ukrainian Literature is to broaden familiarity with Ukrainian literature in the English-speaking world. The program activities towards this goal will include sponsoring research, scholarly writing, translation and other activities, such as workshops, public lectures and readings. The program will support research visits to Toronto by scholars, writers and translators.

In special tribute to Prof. Struk, the program will organize an annual public lecture, titled the Danylo Husar Struk Memorial Lecture, to be delivered by a distinguished scholar, critic or writer.

Prof. Struk was editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine and director of the Toronto Publications Office of the CIUS. Memorial donations may be sent to: Danylo H. Struk Fund at the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies, 2336A Bloor Street West, Suite 202, Toronto, Ontario, M6S 1P3.
