| Dr. Ute Lotz-Heumann
has been chosen as the first regular occupant of the Heiko A.
Oberman Chair in Late Medieval and Reformation History.
Lotz-Heumann’s accomplishments thus far and her promise for the
future made her the outstanding candidate for the Oberman Chair
among a field of finalists who were uniformly distinguished.
In a
period of just nine years since obtaining the Ph.D. at Humboldt
University in Berlin, Lotz-Heumann has achieved more than many
of us do over decades. For more about Dr. Lotz-Heumann,

NEW GIFT MATCH!
Anonymous Donor Will Match All Gifts Made to the Oberman
Library/Chair
We have received outstanding
news that a benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous will match
gifts to the Oberman Library/Chair made before December 31,
2009, to an aggregate maximum of $300,000.
As the amount of funds raised currently stands at $1.5 million, the
completion of this match will put us within a hair's breadth of
our $2 million goal.
Contributions to the fund will help preserve the incomparable and
valuable Oberman Research Library for the state of Arizona and
simultaneously create an endowment for a professorial Chair in
Late Medieval and Reformation History.
Through this endowment we seek to perpetuate the legacy of Heiko A.
Oberman (1930-2001), one of the twentieth century's great
historians of the Reformation and winner of the 1996 Heineken
Prize for History, who founded the Division for Late Medieval
and Reformation Studies at the University of Arizona in 1986. |
