Frederick A. Klemm, Professor of
German Emeritus, was honored as the “Father of Terms Abroad at Union” at a recent on-campus gathering. President Roger Hull and Professor of French
Bill Thomas, director of international programs, presented a photograph of Professor Klemm that will hang in the International Programs Office in the Humanities Building.
President Hull commented that Fred and Eleanor Klemm have clearly touched the lives of many Union alumni. Stephen Ciesinski '70, chairman of the Union Board of Trustees and a member of the first term abroad at Union in Vienna, said in a letter to the Klemms, “Congratulations on being recognized for founding and architecting the Terms Abroad Program. We are all very grateful for your long-lasting devotion and inspiration in making this program one of the significant distinctions that Union offers its students.” James Ehlen '62 said, “You are one of the few people to have been favorably influential in my life. You remain the foremost faculty member in my memories of four very formative years of my development.”
