Biographical history
John Mohan (1936-2003) was a Professor of Russian at Grinnell College from 1973 to 2003. He received his B.S. from Mount St. Mary’s College, an M.A. from Middlebury College, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University. A full professor since 1991, he helped establish the Russian Department in the early 1970s.
The John Mohan Russian Study Award was created in his honor and provides students who have seriously pursued the study of Russian with an opportunity to develop their language skills in the Russian-speaking world.The award enables Grinnell College students to pursue a intense language study during the summer after their second year, or a language study or a project of their own design after graduation. Funding was raised by three devoted friends of the Russian department: Diane Fisher Perkinson ’82, Sharon McKee ’82, and Emily Silliman ’81.
