Support Our Work
To celebrate Lisa Berkman’s profound impact on our community, we’re launching a campaign in the hopes of raising $50,000 to establish a named “Lisa Berkman” fund. For decades, Lisa has been passionate about mentoring junior scholars, so it seems fitting that proceeds go toward the enhancement of our Pop Center training programs (postdoctoral fellowships, GSA traineeship in Demography, etc.).
