Spring 2021 PSU Day of Giving

Support Anthropology Undergrads

We have all lived through a challenging year. All of our students have done an amazing job of continuing their studies and adapting to attending classes remotely. Seriously, their resilience is extraordinary!

With the end of the pandemic in sight, we decided to dedicate our Spring 2021 Day of Giving to our undergraduate students. We’re raising funds for the Daniel Scheans Endowed Student Support Fund, which provides professional development support for undergraduate Anthropology students, giving them the hands-on experience that is so valued by employers.

By supporting the payouts of this fund, you will be helping our talented students’ complete internships and research projects, as well as attend conferences, workshops, and other training activities that expand their professional toolkits. You will also be helping more BIPOC students engage with Anthropology and ensuring that Anthropology fulfills its critical role in promoting social justice throughout the US and the world.

PSU Day of Giving

This year, PSU Anthropology is celebrating Giving Tuesday by joining in the PSU Day of Giving.

We are asking for donations to support summer experiences for our undergraduate and graduate students. Feedback from students tells us that summer research opportunities—in the form of field schools (for archaeology, bio and cultural anthropology) or travel for internships to work in museums or non-profit organizations—can truly be “life changing.”

Please consider making a donation of any amount ($5, $10, $50 or more!) towards our summer scholarship fund. We want to send as many of our students as possible to  practice their anthropology out in the world. Your support will make a big difference in the lives of our students!
