“Conceived as a bold interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and international experiment, the Radcliffe Institute is now one of the world’s leading institutes for advanced study. The Institute is a credit to Radcliffe’s history and Harvard’s future.”

“Radcliffe has been a huge part of my College experience. I first started working there as a research assistant to a fellow who was studying NOW [the National Organization for Women]. Then I was on the student advisory board, and now I’m working with Emerging Leaders. It’s a wonderful way to work with Radcliffe outside the realm of research, and it feels really good to be giving back to the wider community.”

“As my relationship to Radcliffe has evolved from student to alumna to Institute supporter, I am grateful for everything Radcliffe has given me: old and new friends, an excellent education, and ongoing access to cutting-edge ideas.”

“From the start, I always thought of my Radcliffe experience almost like a fifth class—which you get paid for. It always felt too good to be true, and it’s been such a treat to be part of it.”

“It means a lot to me that the archivists at the Schlesinger always have valued and actively collected the papers of women of color, from Charlotte Hawkins Brown to the Black Women Oral History Project. I can think of no better place than here to deposit my own family papers.”

“Giving every year sends a message: I believe in what you are doing. We believe in what Radcliffe does to advance new knowledge, and we value the opportunity to meet other people who do as well. Radcliffe is a place where anyone can come and learn—what a privilege to help make that happen.”

“The seminar was a dream come true. The connections made, the projects in progress, the learning that happened and continues to occur, the invitations for opportunities that have resulted—I have been astounded by the impact of that experience. The work that Radcliffe does and helps to support is changing lives.”

“My being at Radcliffe, in an environment where people bring such wholly different perspectives, has helped pull me out of my government, bureaucratic navel-gazing. It has helped me to look up rather than back and to try to write something that’s more enduring, more forward-looking.”
