A trio of classical Indian musicians perform at the Signing Ceremony for the Vivekananda Visiting Professorship, which establishes a new visiting professorship in Indian studies, supported by a $1.5 million gift from India's Ministry of Culture. The new chair commemorates the legacy of Hindu spiritual leader Swami Vivekananda, who helped to raise awareness of Hinduism and Indian culture in the US. The professorship includes a teaching commitment as well as an annual public lecture, enriching the University's program for the study of the Indian subcontinent.
