Jon-Christian Suggs Memorial Scholarship in Literature and Law
Professor Emeritus Jon-Christian Suggs joined the faculty in September 1973 and served in many leadership roles, including coordinator of the Thematic Studies Program, and founder of the interdisciplinary Humanities and Justice major. As Chair of the Department of English from February 2005 to July 2007, he developed the specialization of law and literature that is to this day a distinctive feature of the college’s English major. He remained an involved and well-loved member of the John Jay College Community until his passing on August 5th, 2016.
In honor of his dedicated career at John Jay and in recognition of his positive impact on students, faculty, and the humanities curriculum, Professor Suggs’ family, friends, and colleagues created The Jon-Christian Suggs Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Donations to the fund will directly support a deserving John Jay College student who is an English major and has chosen to specialize in law and literature.
