Your donation will enhance educational experiences and student lives!

Our fundraising goal for 2026 is $5,000 and stands to make a great impact in our ever-growing department. Please help us spread the word and leverage matching funds to support our brilliant and dedicated students!

What will your donation support?

This year, as we move into our 50th anniversary, your funds will help support departmental events. Such events as our student Scholars Week, faculty research presentations, guest speakers, film screenings, Whatcom Youth Pride, and our annual graduation party are essential in developing student knowledge, creating lasting connections, and celebrating our students for their hard work.

WGSS has a rooted history but is still an emerging department that is expanding despite the fiscal challenges currently facing higher education. Our majors and minors are excited about WGSS and we need your support now more than ever!

According to Our Alums, WGSS Represents . . . 

“The past I never knew or was taught about, a future I hope to better and live in, and a present I want to work hard at with compassion, intelligence, and bravery.” – Abigail Buchanan, Class of 2025

“The highlight of my experience in college. I was motivated to excel in my studies with the wonderful professors within the department. Through the courses, I learned more about the world and myself than I thought could even be learned.” – Hayley Frame, Class of 2024

Help us keep these vibrant educational experiences moving forward. Please donate and share our campaign. We so appreciate your support!
