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 28 and 29 that encourages people to donate to their favorite part of UMass Amherst. For us, that's STPEC. For 50 years, STPEC’s interdisciplinary programming has challenged students to approach our most complex societal concerns with a critical analysis and transformative solutions. STPEC could not have thrived for this long without your help.
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:
- Provided campaign support for Massachusetts Jobs with Justice (Springfield, MA)
- Updated housing justice curriculum for Springfield No One Leaves (Springfield, MA)
- Provided clerical and administrative support for the Case Disposal Project at the United States District Court: District of Massachusetts (Boston, MA).
- Conducted research and provided administrative support for the production of the local radio program “The Afternoon Buzz” with STPEC Alum Buz Einsenberg (Northampton, MA)
- Provided social media content, editorials and other forms of communications support for the Peace Development Fund (Amherst, MA)
- Provided life coaching for youth at the Justice Resource Institute (Lowell, 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.
