Riecker Graduate Student Research Fund
Goal: $400,000 Gifts & pledges to date: $250,000
The Graduate Student Research Fund – which enables UM graduate students to be part of a research team – is an essential aspect of CEW. CEW has always been a nimble, sharply focused and entrepreneurial organization where the research we conduct has immediate practical applications. This fund has been "jump started" with the generous challenge gift from Ranny Riecker (see related story) Through the support of generous donors who have pledged a total of $100,000, and with the Riecker matching funds, we have raised a total of $200,000 in gifts and pledges. The challenge has helped us reach 63% of our goal in a matter of months. To reflect Ranny's generous contribution and challenge, this fund has been renamed the Riecker Graduate Student Research Fund. The Fund for Student Research enables CEW to continue its important research on women's education, careers and leadership and to assist students who conduct research related to these aspects of women's lives, as well as health and well-being. The impact of these funds ripples beyond CEW as succeeding generations of scholars delve into women's experiences or shed light on gender-related social issues.
Goal: $400,000
"My work today centers around improving universities and schools so that excellent math, science and engineering education is accessible to
all–especially women and girls. As a graduate student at the Center for the Education of Women, I was able to participate in the kind of applied research that first interested me in graduate studies and that has allowed me to pursue my goals."Stacy Wenzel, Ph.D, Senior Researcher,
