McMillan\u2019s legacy will be a significant contribution to our understanding of Russian history, politics and society at a critical time in international affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With matching funds from the university, McMillan\u2019s gift will establish an endowment fund to attract an established scholar to Carleton and support teaching and research activities. As a full-time faculty member, the McMillan Chair will teach undergraduate and graduate classes, mentor graduate students conducting research within EURUS, produce original research and organize outreach activities such as public lectures and conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McMillan joined Carleton in 1968 after a career in the United States Navy and the U.S. Foreign Service. He was one of the first directors of the program that eventually became EURUS, and is pleased to put in place an endowed gift to support the institute\u2019s priorities in perpetuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTeaching at Carleton was a gift,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope the chair will contribute to the long-term growth and success of the institute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carleton will conduct an international search for the McMillan Chair in Russian Studies, with an expected start date in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contact<br>\n<\/strong>Steven Reid<br>\nMedia Relations Officer<br>\nCarleton University<br>\n613-520-2600, ext. 8718<br>\n613-265-6613<br>\n<u><a href=\"mailto:Steven_Reid3@Carleton.ca\">Steven_Reid3@Carleton.ca<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carleton University announced today a donation from Prof. Emeritus Carl McMillan to establish the McMillan Chair in Russian Studies, an endowed research chair in Carleton\u2019s Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS). \u201cWe are so grateful for this gift and for McMillan\u2019s confidence in Carleton,\u201d said Andr\u00e9 Plourde, dean, Faculty of Public Affairs. \u201cLike [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":410,"featured_media":47091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[119,93,91],"class_list":["post-55450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-releases","tag-eurus","tag-faculty-of-public-affairs","tag-research"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/410"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55450"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55452,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55450\/revisions\/55452"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
