CREES is the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Michigan’s International Institute. A long-time recipient of U.S. Department of Education Title VI grants, the center currently awards US/ED-supported Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships. CREES, along with the Copernicus Program in Polish Studies and Center for European Studies, comprise the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, which works in association with the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.
We strive to support our students and faculty on the frontlines of learning and research; to steward our planet, our community, our campus. To do this, CREES needs you—because the world needs Victors.
