To provide support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Queer Studies Certificate at the ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø.
This fund was created to provide stipends to students pursuing unpaid or below-market-pay internships with organizations that support the LGBTQ community. The annual award is named after the late Thomas R. Stephens, the attorney, author, artist, and gay rights philanthropist to organizations such as Freedom to Marry, Human Rights Campaign, and Lamdba Legal Defense Fund. His award is made possible by Tom’s husband and soulmate, Todd Enders.
The Karen Raforth Scholarship was created to help support students who show an aptitude for leadership and involvement with LGBTQIA issues. Dr. Karen Raforth as a University psychologist and assistant director for UCB Counseling Services was instrumental in helping create and administer many successful ongoing educational and social programs that were a major force in making the climate for LGBTQIA students positive and welcoming. This award honors the work and leadership of Dr. Karen Raforth, who spent years devoting her time and talent to the LGBTQIA community at ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø.
The Evan Wolfson Prize in LGBTQ Studies recognizes the outstanding work of an undergraduate student at ºÚÁÏÉçÇøÍø whose sole-author paper or creative work deals with LGBTQ issues, broadly defined. The Wolfson Prize, named to honor the work and impact of gay rights activism, was established and made possible through the generous gifts provided by Thomas Stephens (University of Colorado, class of 1974) and Todd Enders.
