Friends of the Gender Studies Department

The Gender Studies Program has been able to flourish because of the support of friends, alumni and community members who recognize the value of scholarly inquiry and public education. Many of these supporters have elected to join the Friends of the Gender Studies Program, a solid support group at Indiana University. The contributions of Friends provide student scholarships, subsidize public lectures and other special programs, and support the costs of scholarly research and conferences.

Beyond supporting the educational and scholarly mission of the Gender Studies Program, becoming a Friend is also a way to develop one's own engagement in Gender learning and culture. We plan to offering a program in 2005 where we host a gathering of Friends, usually featuring a lecture or presentation by one of our outstanding faculty members.

 Endowment Opportunities

The program is in particular need of funding to support undergraduate student scholarships and graduate fellowships. The former can have a life-changing impact by encouraging students to make Gender Studies part of their college education. The latter supports students as they prepare for careers as the next generation of scholars and teachers.

For a limited time, a gift of $150,000 or more for scholarships/fellowships may qualify for a university matching program that will greatly enhance its impact. A gift may also provide significant tax savings.
