Joan Schulz

Joan E. Schulz Lectureship

Created with seed money and fundraising ingenuity by Professor Judith Fetterley and other members of the Community of Founders, the Endowment generates income to fund an annual lecture on "Feminism, Knowledge, and Pedagogy." Named in honor of Emerita Professor of English and Women's Studies Joan E. Schulz, who, with Professor Fetterley, founded the Undergraduate Teaching Collective, the Endowment commemorates the vital aspects of second-wave feminism that continue to energize Women's Studies, in particular the connection between academic knowledge and political activism that Professor Schulz brought to her own pedagogy.

The fundraising effort for the Endowment is entering its third phase with a goal of reaching the $200,000 mark. Ultimately, the Endowment is intended to support a Visiting Professor and to increase the Women's Studies Department's teaching capacity. Those interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the Joan E. Schulz Lectureship should contact the Department.

 

Women's Studies Scholarships and Awards

OUTSTANDING GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD

This award recognizes a Women's Studies M.A. student who has demonstrated academic excellence and made important contributions to the University and larger communities.

WOMEN'S STUDIES AWARD

The Women's Studies Committee started this award in 1986 to recognize an outstanding Women's Studies major or minor who has demonstrated an excellent academic record in Women's Studies and significant feminist contributions to the women's community. The time, energy, and money of the many women and men who support the University at Albany's Women's Studies Department through fundraising events and alumnae activities allow us to grant the award every year.

ARLENE E. RAY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

This special scholarship was founded in 1994 to serve as a living memory of Joan Schulz's younger and only sister, Arlene Ray. Arlene's strength, intelligence, and great courage were an inspiration to all those around her. She would be proud to know she inspired this scholarship and proud to be associated with its recipients. The award goes to an outstanding Women's Studies undergraduate to recognize her academic achievement and significant contributions to the University and larger communities, and her dedication to feminist principles.

STONEMAN-VAN VRANKEN SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

This scholarship is given annually in honor of the late Kate Stoneman, a student and teaching at the Albany State Normal School and the first woman admitted to the Bar in New York State, and the late Harriet Van Vranken, a graduate of Albany Teacher's College and Albany's first African American teacher. The award goes to a Women's Studies outstanding undergraduate student in recognition of her record in Women's Studies and other course work, contributions to the University and larger communities, dedication to feminist principles, and overall academic performance.

Those interested in making tax-deductible contributions to any of the above scholarships and awards should contact the Department.
