Social Thought and Political Economy
Last year STPEC celebrated 50 years of interdisciplinary programming that 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. It is not too late to help us mark this important milestone with a donation to 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:
- Managed a food justice campaign with the Center for Education Policy and Advocacy (UMass Amherst Campus).
- Taught middle school students with Generation Teach in Worcester public schools (Worcester, MA).
- Served as an intern for the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Boston, MA).
- Provided case management support for social workers at Dynamic Pathways (Bohemia, NY).
- Developed a podcast and provided administrative support for the Human Restoration Project (Remote).
- Organized an international conference to strengthen the ties between the anti-war and environmental justice movements with the Institute for Policy Studies (Remote).
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
