Bullying has long been an evolving societal injustice that can lead to lifelong implications for those on the receiving end of the abuse. In 2021, Kathryn Jens, PhD ’78, MA ’75 made the first of many gifts to the Alberti Center to establish a graduate student fellowship. Shortly after, she began making plans for a bequest commitment of $1.5 million to fund the first-ever endowed faculty position in #UBGSE.

1wKudos! Kathryn Jens’s contributions extend beyond the confines of academia, influencing broader societal efforts to combat bullying. The research and interventions developed through the Alberti Center have the potential to inform national and international policies, setting new standards for bullying prevention and intervention. As these policies and programs are implemented, they can significantly reduce the prevalence of bullying in schools, workplaces, and other social settings. This ripple effect shows the far-reaching implications of philanthropic investments in education and research, illustrating how targeted funding can drive systemic change and improve the lives of countless individuals. #EndBullying
