FAST FACTS ABOUT WOMEN AND GENDER STUDIES AT UIS

Number of Majors, 2009-2010:
This program currently offers a minor only, so we have no majors.
Funds that Target Women and Gender Studies:
- Women and Gender Studies Fund
- Create Your Own Fund
Current Needs:
- Scholarships: We always welcome scholarships that target students minoring in Women and Gender Studies. THIS IS OUR GREATEST NEED. Most of our students have to work to help pay their own way. More
  than you might think have to take semesters or longer off before they can continue their education. Please help them afford books, fees, and so much more. Use the link above to learn how to create your own fund, or contact our gift officer (left).
- Faculty development funds: These help faculty stay current in our field by attending and presenting at regional and national conferences.
- Globalization Service Learning: Most years we take students to another country, where they learn about economic realities evident within the country and provide volunteer service. One year we went to Nicaragua, the next to Chiapas Mexico, and for the past two years we have taken students to Peru. If you are interested in supporting students on these life-changing learning experiences, please contact our gift officer, Jill Bohn (link at left).
- Unrestricted funds: These allow us to respond to unexpected needs and opportunities, so in many ways your unrestricted gifts are particularly powerful.
