Robert F. and Margaret S. Goheen Fellowship

Celebrating one of the founders of the Center and his wife, the Robert F. and Margaret S. Goheen fellowship was endowed by numerous generous donors and has been awarded annually since the year 2000. Born in India where his parents were missionaries, Robert began his academic career as a professor of classics at Princeton in 1950 before being selected as the youngest president of the university since the American Revolution. After stepping down from his presidency in 1972, Goheen was named president of the Council on Foundations and was later appointed U.S. Ambassador to India by President Jimmy Carter.

Margaret was a committed and dedicated volunteer who served on boards and committees for the Princeton University’s Isabella McCosh Infirmary, The Princeton University Art Museum, The Aquinas Institute, Princeton YWCA, Stuart Country Day School and The Princeton Committee of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
