Dear WGSS community,
The Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at UAlbany is close to reaching our fundraising goal as part of March Matchness. We have less than 10 hours left to raise the remaining funds. We have a generous matching donor, so this is a unique opportunity.
If you are able, please consider sharing this link and/or the information below with others who believe in the value and mission of a WGSS education. Every donation—no matter how big or small—is welcome and makes a difference.
Thank you for participating in this collective effort!
Warm regards,
Barbara Sutton
*******************************

March Matchness is underway at UAlbany!
Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) has a generous matching donor, which means gifts to the department will go even further. From March 4–12, the campus community is rallying to support UAlbany students and programs. This is one of the most important fundraising moments of the year for WGSS.
Contributions of any size are welcome and help sustain the department’s work while strengthening the opportunities available to our students.
WGSS students make meaningful contributions to community organizations through our internship program, advance feminist pedagogy through our Teaching Collective, take on leadership roles on campus and beyond, and present their research and creative work at conferences. WGSS faculty continue to be recognized for their cutting-edge research, service, pedagogy, and public scholarship. We are proud of the department’s accomplishments and of the community that makes this work possible.
We invite all who believe in the importance of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies to participate in March Matchness and amplify the impact of this matching opportunity.
Please click here to make a gift. 
Thank you for supporting WGSS. To learn more about our programs, news, and announcements, please visit our website.

Dear WGSS community,
I'm writing once more today—just to express my deep gratitude for your support during the March Matchness fundraiser. This was truly a collective effort, and it produced great results. WGSS met and surpassed the challenge goal and was able to unlock the matching gift. This will directly benefit WGSS programs and the opportunities available to our students.
Beyond the material dimension, I think this campaign also demonstrates the wide support WGSS has garnered. Thank you to all who helped spread the word—posting, reposting, donating, sending encouraging words and ideas, and talking to others about WGSS work, its mission, and the wonderful contributions of our students and faculty. Every effort made a positive difference.
With appreciation,
