Support for Graduate Students

Our generous donors have provided CSW|Streisand Center with the means to offer graduate students an array of award, grant, and fellowship opportunities. In addition, CSW|Streisand Center employs graduate student researchers, who gain valuable experience in conference coordination, academic research, website and blog development, and other professionalization experience.
