Announcement of Douglas Sadownick Scholarship Fund
In his almost twenty years at Antioch University, Douglas Sadownick has expanded our understanding of what it means to be a part of the LGBT community and has made the Antioch identity more vibrant and inclusive as a result. After a decade of visionary leadership, Douglas stepped down as Director of the LGBT Specialization in March 2016 and returned to the MAP faculty.
To honor his legacy, Antioch University has established the Douglas Sadownick Scholarship Fund. Any MAP student at AULA who has taken at least one class in the LGBT Specialization will be eligible to apply for financial support for his/her/hir studies. For more information on how to give a gift to the Douglas Sadownick Scholarship Fund, please go to the AULA web site http://www.antiochla.edu/giving/.
