“The Zink History Faculty Development Fund enabled me to visit the Archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain, this year, where I continued my research into the Spanish imperial diplomatic service. The Zink Fund helps ensure that our students and the wider public benefit from the discoveries and creative energy of the Indiana State faculty for years to come. For this investment in our future, I am truly grateful.”
