STPEC

Social Thought and Political Economy

Please donate to the Social Thought and Political Economy Program during UMassGives.

#UMassGives is a 2-day online giving campaign on April 29 and 30 that encourages people to donate to their favorite part of UMass Amherst. For us, that's STPEC.

Your donation during this year’s UMassGives campaign will support student activism and internship work through the Sara Lennox Scholarship Fund and the STPEC Summer Grassroots Internship Scholarship. As you know STPEC students bring their passion, time and talent to a variety of social issues. Over the past year STPEC students have:

Conducted research to strengthen the local worker co-op ecosystem with the Valley Alliance of Worker Cooperatives (Northampton, MA)
Managed social media accounts and produced videos for local media outlet Amherst Media (Amherst, MA)
Provided campaign support for food justice campaigns with the Center for Education Policy and Advocacy (On Campus).
Provided administrative support including donor tracking and venue management for the Northampton Center for the Arts (Northampton, MA)
Provided intakes and referrals to clients of the Abortion Rights Fund of Western MA.
Conducted legal research for civil, criminal, and family issues for a private law firm (Hyannis, MA)

Your UMassGives contribution will help STPEC students bring what they’ve learned in the classroom to the real world. Because student activism and internship work are largely unpaid, STPEC students need financial assistance to pursue these opportunities. Please support the next generation of engaged scholars and activists.

Thank you.
