On April 15th, the Dept. of Religious Studies, the Dept. of Women's and Gender Studies, and Environmental Studies at OU had the pleasure to host author Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder in a reading and conversation of her book, Mother, Creature, Kin: What We Learn from Nature's Mothers in a Time of Unraveling with Rev. Barbara Boyd, D.Min. as moderator. The event was packed, and the discussion was engaging. Thank you to Chelsea, Barbara, and to everyone who made this such a successful event.
Thanks to generous donations from alumni and supporters like you, the Department of Religious Studies has expanded student experiences through guest speakers, social events, and travel opportunities.
This Giving Day, we're highlighting our Student Enrichment Fund, which directly supports Religious Studies majors and minors. Last year, this fund made it possible for four students to attend the American Academy of Religion’s annual meeting in San Diego—covering travel and conference costs. They returned inspired, full of new ideas for research and future careers.
Your gift helps us create more of these transformative experiences. It empowers students to explore what matters most and prepares them to lead meaningful lives rooted in curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion.
