Alexander Levi, a Johns Hopkins University trustee emeritus, and his wife Vicki have made a $15 million gift to the Berman Institute of Bioethics to support the education and training of future leaders in the field of bioethics.
Levi, a clinical psychologist based in New York, is a longtime supporter of the Berman Institute and chair of its national advisory board. He previously supported post-doctoral bioethicists through the Hecht-Levi Fellowship Program. This recent gift will establish the Ruth R. Faden Endowment for Education in Bioethics, named in honor of the Berman Institute’s founding director.
“This remarkable gift, one of the largest ever made to any bioethics program, will both enable the Berman Institute to attract and support the most promising students and fellows in the United States and from around the world and honor our founding director, Ruth Faden,” said Jeffrey Kahn, who became the Berman Institute’s second director last summer.
