<font face="Palatino">APPLY BEFORE APRIL 18 for A Sander Thoenes
Division II or III Research Grant<br>
<br>
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
