Former Israeli prime minister and Nobel Prize winner Shimon Peres has canceled his scheduled March 17 visit to Cornell due to a political emergency in Israel.
Peres was to be the 1999 Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels World Affairs Fellow. He was scheduled to give the Bartels Fellowship Lecture Wednesday, March 17.
The lecture may be rescheduled for April.
The Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels World Affairs Fellowship was established at Cornell by the Bartels in 1984 to foster a broadened world perspective among students by bringing distinguished international public figures to campus. The Bartels are members of the Cornell Class of 1948.
