APPLY BEFORE APRIL 18 for A Sander Thoenes Division II or III Research Grant

Sander came to the College in 1987 from his home in the Netherlands. 
After concentrating in Soviet politics and journalism, he produced a 
highly original Division III study, "Between Glasnost and a Free Press: 
Soviet Journalism in the Gorbachev Years," which relied heavily on 
primary research Sander conducted in Moscow. He went on to report from 
dangerous, unsettled places where human rights were in jeopardy, 
including Russia and the former republics of the USSR. In September 1999 
Sander was killed by Indonesian soldiers as he entered Dili, East Timor, 
to report on Timor's UN-sanctioned vote to separate from Indonesia. He 
was then Jakarta correspondent for the Financial Times of London. 
Sander's reporting also appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, US 
News and World Report and various other North American and European news 
media. Sander's death was noted by many admirers, not least Kofi Annan, 
then secretary general of the United Nations, who said, "It is largely 
thanks to the courage and determination of men and women like Sander 
that crimes against humanity are brought to the attention of the world's 
conscience." Sander was recognized posthumously by the National Press 
Club, the Overseas Press Club of America and others. (See 
www.memorialforsander.org for more information about him.)
