Support WGS
Women's & Gender Studies depends on gifts from donors to enhance academic programs for its students.
What We Do With Gifts
We use donations from contributors to support a variety of academic projects including the following:
- Symposia and conferences hosted by WGS
- Annual Currents in Gender Studies Event
- Prizes for distinguished graduate and undergraduate work
- Lectures by visiting speakers
- Travel to academic conferences for graduate students
Gift Opportunities
A number of exceptionally generous friends of the Program have created permanent endowments to support specific programs and initiatives. These include:
- Sally Miller Gearhart Fund for Lesbian Studies
- Abbie Jane Bakony Scholarship
- Miller Family Scholarship
- The Bruce M Abrams LGBT Essay Award
The Women's & Gender Studies Program General Fund provides funding to be used at the Program Director's discretion toward events and activities which benefit each of the Program's students.
Of course, the opportunity for more fellowships, prizes, and programs is always present, limited only by the imaginations and resources of our faculty and friends. We hope you will consider helping us change the lives of UO Women's & Gender Studies program students by offering them the finest and most diverse educational opportunities possible.
