Four dr. Joseph P. Kazickas fellows at Yale Baltic Studies center - dr. Mindaugas Sapoka, dr. Monika Kareniauskaite, dr. Vaidotas Vaičaitis and dr. Arvydas Grišinas joined the discussion, shared their experience at Yale, answered the questions that potential candidates had and encouraged them to apply. Current JPK fellow at Yale dr. Vytautas Kuokstis, associate professor at Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science, joined the discussion straight from New Haven.
In 1947, while in Germany, Joseph P. Kazickas received a scholarship from Yale that enabled him and his family to emigrate to America as refugees from communist Lithuania. He completed his Ph.D. in economics in 1951 and pursued a successful career as a business entrepreneur. In 2012 the Kazickas Family Foundation established the Joseph P. Kazickas Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Yale to support the Baltic Studies program in the MacMillan Center's Council on European Studies. The Fellowship provides resources for visiting scholars and researchers from Lithuania to study at Yale and organize workshops and seminars on campus about issues relevant to the Baltic Sea region.
