Where It’s Needed Kristine Siefert and Kalyan Dutta Support Social Work Students
M
any of our international students — as well as our Detroit-area students, especially those who work with Black and Latinx populations — have benefited greatly over the years from the scholarships established by Kristine Siefert, MSW ’75, Edith S. Gomberg Collegiate Professor Emerita of Social Work, and her husband, Kalyan Dutta, MBA ’78. Together, Siefert and Dutta have established the Kristine Siefert and Kalyan Dutta Endowed Scholarship, as well as the Geeta Dutta Memorial Scholarship, in honor of Kal Dutta’s mother. Kris Siefert has a long history at Michigan. She, her father, her sister and her nephew are all graduates.
