The event's emcee, Dr. Emmanuel David, remarked "as a longtime member of the awards committee, I can say that our pool of applicants is always fierce and inspiring. This year was no different, a testament to the excellence of today’s recipients who rose to the top." Dr. David was assisted in presenting the awards by Dr. Alison Jaggar, Professor of Distinction in Women and Gender Studies and Philosophy, and Dr. Robert Wyrod, Assistant Professor in Women and Gender Studies and International Affairs.</p><div class="row ucb-column-container"> <div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="image-caption image-caption-none"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/jacqueline-award_0.jpg?itok=dpF_aL--" width="750" height="678" alt="Jacqueline Tillman receiving scholarship award"> </div> <p class="text-align-center">Jacqueline Tillman is presented with the<br>Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Scholarship</p></div> </div> <a href="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article-image/jacqueline-award_0.jpg?itok=knlEjCma" rel="nofollow"> </a><div class="col ucb-column"><h3><strong>The Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Scholarship</strong><br><em><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2017 recipient: Jacqueline Tillman</strong></em></h3><p>Named in honor of the first black female graduate of the University of Colorado, this scholarship is awarded to a student who demonstrates a commitment to social justice and who may be the first generation in their family to attend college.</p><p>This year's award was given to a student whose work embodies the spirit of the Lucile Berkeley Buchanan award, Women and Gender Studies major <strong>Jacqueline Tillman. </strong>The committee was greatly impressed by Jacqueline’s deep and unwavering commitment to feminist movements that are intersectional from the bottom up. In particular, Jacqueline’s advocacy has brought much needed attention to the issue of sexual assault in society. In her extensive volunteer work at numerous community organizations, she has supported rape survivors, answered calls at 24-hour rape-crisis hotlines, and advocated for Spanish speakers and the need for bilingual volunteer-operated hotlines. </p></div><hr><div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="image-caption image-caption-none"><p> </p><div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/oriana_0.jpg?itok=HzeBhmne" width="750" height="639" alt="Oriana Richmond"> </div> <p class="text-align-center">Oriana Richmond is presented the<br>Jean Dubofsky Scholarship</p></div> </div> <a href="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article-image/jacqueline-award_0.jpg?itok=knlEjCma" rel="nofollow"> </a><div class="col ucb-column"><h3><strong>The Jean Dubofsky Scholarship<br><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2017 recipient: Oriana Richmond</em></strong></h3><p>This scholarship is<strong> </strong>given in honor of Jean Dubofsky, the first woman to serve on the Colorado Supreme Court and a Boulder attorney who has worked tirelessly on civil rights issues. It&nbsp;was generously funded by the late Dr. Joanne E. Arnold, professor emerita in Journalism. Jean was unable to join us for Commencement this year, but we very much appreciate her long-standing involvement and support of our department. This award is given to a Women and Gender studies major and is based on academic record, education and career goals, community and campus service, and a demonstrated commitment to raising awareness of the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, class and nationality.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>This year, the award goes to<strong> Oriana Richmond</strong>. Oriana is a passionate advocate of access to reproductive healthcare, and is currently majoring in Women and Gender Studies and minoring in both Sociology and Spanish. Locally, she helped found the student group called Buffs for Reproductive Justice, an organization dedicated to providing students with an inclusive, intersectional, and pro-choice environment in which to cultivate activism and community. Recently she flew to Washington with Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains to participate in national level advocacy for these urgent issues of reproductive justice. </p></div><hr><div class="col ucb-column"> <div class="image-caption image-caption-none"><p><br> </p><div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/katie_0.jpg?itok=n-AbKWV4" width="750" height="622" alt="Katie Wallace"> </div> <p class="text-align-center">Katie Wallace receiving the<br>Andermarch Cicogna Scholarship</p></div> </div> <a href="/wgst/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article-image/jacqueline-award_0.jpg?itok=knlEjCma" rel="nofollow"> </a><div class="col ucb-column"><h3><strong>Andermarch Cicogna Scholarship<br><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&
