Giving Voice to the Voiceless fund support student projects
The Giving Voice to the Voiceless endowment established by Charlayne Hunter-Gault (ABJ ’63) and her husband, Ron Gault, supports students in projects that give voice to the voiceless, the charting light of the life and work of Ms. Hunter-Gault. Through grants awarded from the fund, students from all disciplines across the University of Georgia can undertake projects that promote social justice and global understanding by amplifying marginalized voices.
With your support, we can expand available grant opportunities and help students engage in meaningful work in the world during their time here, sharing the voices they discover with others through experiential learning, a top academic priority of the University and the College.
