Zoran Dimitrovski (POLS ‘95, North Macedonia) still recalls the electricity of CEU’s early days. The Wall had collapsed, central and eastern Europe were opening in previously unthinkable ways, and the post-Cold War avantgarde, it seemed, had descended on Budapest to teach, to learn - and to apply those lessons going forward.  

We are saddened to report the sudden passing last week of Szandra Gerő, a former student of CEU’s Source Language Teaching Group. She was 44 years old.  

Szandra worked at the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest. A polyglot who read English, Hebrew, Yiddish and German, she studied at Hebrew University and the Budapest University of Jewish Studies (OR-ZSE) as well as CEU.
