What is the Harriet Patsy Boyer Memorial Scholarship?

The Harriet Patsy Boyer Memorial Scholarship Program was established in 2001 to honor the memory of Boyer, who retired as Professor Emerita from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in Spring 1977.

The scholarship is dedicated to increasing opportunities for students to participate in scholarly activities that promote new understanding of women in culture and society.

The Women’s Interdisciplinary Studies Program at Colorado State University initiated this annual event to recognize and celebrate the intergenerational contributions of feminist scholars. All faculty, staff, students, and member of the community are welcome to attend.
