It's that time of year again when the department fundraises for the John Donahue Award for Social Justice. We fully support students (housing, a $5,000 stipend, and free academic credit) to conduct full-time professional internships every summer with amazing organizations. This internship is named for John Donahue, an anthropologist committed to social justice work through his teaching, research, and service work. Please help us honor his legacy! Every dollar counts, and it truly is the donation, not the amount, that matters! DONATE to the John Donahue Award HERE: https://give.trinity.edu/1869-challenge-2026/?a=10922309
