The Doctoral Students of Color (DSoC) Alumni Lynx created a scholarship to honor and continue Dean Rebecca Kantor’s legacy and true, authentic passion of promoting equity in education and her unconditional support of the DSoC. On the evening of September 15th, at the first DSoC membership meeting the first $1000 scholarship was awarded to Maileen Hamto, a student in the EdD program focused on Urban and Diverse Communities. In true DSoC spirit she wanted to gift half of her scholarship to Karen Jaramillo, who is in the EdD Higher Education strand and is the DSoC president. This collective, supportive and giving spirit is what the DSoC and DSoC Alumni Lynx are all about! Congratulations Maileen and Karen!
If you would like to donate to this fund, we would love to give another $1000 scholarship in January 2022.
