ZUSMANS ENDOW CHAIR
AT WRIGHT STATE

Through the years, Larry and Leonore Zusman, co-founders of Price Stores, have been quiet benefactors of education in Dayton, nationally and internationally.

In October, they endowed a scholarly chair in the Wright State University Department of Religion -- The Zusman Chair of Judaic Studies.

"Mr. and Mrs. Zusman's generosity will be a legacy, not only to Wright State University, but to our larger community as well," said President Kim Goldenberg. "This endowed chair offers a prestigious anchor for the academic study of religion and humanities at the university."

Religion professor Eric Friedland, who retired earlier this year, told university officials of the Zusmans' interest in Wright State. Friedland, who taught Judaic studies classes, shared his time with the University of Dayton and the United Theological Seminary throughout his 30-year career. Continuing these ties will be an important role of the Zusman chair holder, as well as cultivating relationships with the Dayton community.

The search for the Zusman Chair has begun and will be completed next year.
