Fred Cuny Center for Peace & Conflict Studies at RIT Kosovo

The Fred C. Cuny Center for Peace & Conflict Studies at RIT Kosovo (also known as "the Cuny Center" was established in 2022 with funds donated by the Cuny Center for the Study of Societies in Crisis as that organization concluded its operations. The intention behind the new center is to ensure that Fred Cuny's legacy of practical humanitarian engagement would continue in an academic setting shaped by lived experience of conflict.

Building on Cuny's commitment to conflict prevention, human rights, and field-based problem solving, the Cuny Center serves as an interdisciplinary platform for teaching, research, and public engagement on peacebuilding and conflict analysis, drawing particular strength from RIT Kosovo's location in a post-conflict society. Through coursework, research initiatives, student summer programs, and partnerships with regional and international organizations, the Cuny Center prepares students to understand the causes and consequences of violent conflict and to develop informed, ethical responses to global humanitarian and security challenges.

Cuny Center for the Study of Societies in Crisis

The non-profit Intertect Institue was founded in Dallas in 1985, and renamed Center for the Study of Societies in Crisis around 1992. After the disappearance of Fred, the board of trustees was reformed in 1996 under Paul Thompson and renamed the Cuny Center for the Study of Societies in Crisis. The Center operated until 2022. It sought to continue his legacy by studying humanitarian disasters and conflicts, developing practical relief and recovery strategies, and providing guidance to governments, NGOs, and international organizations, serving as a resource for those working to reduce human suffering in crisis situations.
