| Bessie Stak Schiffman Award for Excellence in Women's Studies |
| The Bessie Stak Schiffman Award is given annually to a graduating senior who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in both academic work in women's studies and in campus or community activism. This award was created through the generosity of Prof. Ann Saltzman, Dept. of Psychology, the 1994 recipient of the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching. The award is named in memory of Ann's grandmother who, as a young woman, learned Hebrew and became the "prayer reader" for the women of her small synagogue, enabling them to participate in activities otherwise retricted to men. Her story embodies the ways in which women's knowledge can transform community. The first Schiffman was awarded in May of 1995. |
