“ I’m giving back literally to an institution that gave me so much,” said Freed . “I believe in people, and people make institutions. Carnegie Mellon, and the people who make it great, supported me from the day I arrived until the day I left. ”
Professor Emerita Barbara Freed could not have imagined how her decision to accept a position with Carnegie Mellon University in 1989 would impact so many lives for years to come. Beyond educating her students, she was also the head of the new Department of Modern Languages. Her impact continues today with a plan to give. As part of her lifetime giving plan, Barbara established the Barbara F. Freed Faculty Research Fellowship, which provides seed funding for a faculty member’s research projects in Second Language Acquisition (SLA). With a planned gift in her will, she will also establish the Barbara F. Freed Endowed Chair, which will support a professorship in SLA.
