92 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА Marianna Zajac at the opening of the UCU Women’s Studies Center , September 2018 , Lviv somewhat . In the most recent term, while maintaining e stablished projects , our focus also turned towards current events , such as the 2020 floods in Ukraine and pandemic in the United States, . Our organization relies on Dr. Maria Furtak , UNWLA social work representative in Ukraine to establish contacts, verify requests for aid, arrange for delivery of aid, and follow up to confirm proper use. Without a trusted and reliable partner such as Dr. Furtak, who has volunteered tirelessly to help us, UNWLA would not have been able to move forward with c onfidence on many projects in Ukraine . Another wonderful partner who assists UNWLA in our social welfare efforts has been Dr. Vasyl Pazyniak, a former representative in Ukraine’s parliament. His efforts to support Dr. Furtak with logistics have been indisp ensable. We thank our partners in action in Ukraine! Another social welfare partner for UNWLA is the organization All - Ukrainian Society of Political Prisoners and Repressed Persons ( Всеукраїнське Товариство Політичних В'язнів і Репресовани ). Through this g roup, we continue our Fund Babusi, which has expanded over the years and is very popular with our members . This outreach began as a progra m with Soyuz Ukrainok Ukrainy under the leadership of President Oreslava Khomyk. SUU continues the ir biannual Christmas/Easter outreach in support of elderly women . These women, who often are shut - ins, are from families who in decades past were exiled to Soviet Siberia and similar locations , and often live in near or total poverty . All - Ukrainian Society President, Oryna Sokulska continues to compile for review lists of those on the Society’s rolls and helps identify women who are most in need. Each recipient receives a monetary gift, and receives a greeting card signed by UNWLA President. The feedback an d thank you notes that we receive are extremely tou ching - the messages often describe astonishment that Ukrainian women, who live far across a mighty ocean would know of them, much less care about them ! Women’s Studies Center at UCU -- A n Academic Lega cy Since its inception, the UNWLA Lectureship in Women’s Studies at Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) has had as goals to popularize the broad field of women’s studies , and to integrate the program’s subjects within a general humanities curriculum. The founding principles of the program embrace educational, academic, social, political , and spiritual themes. The lectureship has been popular and successful not only among students, but within the broader community. The opening of the Women’ s Studies Center in September 2018 grew out of this original UNWLA initiative. In 2017, Dr. Marta Bohachevsky Chomiak, a key mentor of this endeavor, stated, “The unqualified five - year success of the UNWLA Lectureship in Women’s Studies Lectureship at UCU justifies our proposal for the expansion of the program. We propose to expand the lectureship into a center ... (an expansion) that would provide a physical home for the center, provide for an assistant to Director Halyna Teslyuk, continue to raise awareness of women’s studies in all humanities courses for both faculty and students, facilitate opportunities for an individualiz ed minor (eventually major) in Women’s S tudies by increasing formal offerings to four courses a year, increase the p rogram of visiting scholars to eight, annually.” This expansion requires a commitment of an additional $10,000 annually, a topic discussed at the XXXI Convention and subsequently approved unanimously by the National Board. By participating and hosting regional inte rnational conferences, such as Empowering Women in Conflict held in August 2018 , the Women’s Studies Center at UCU will offer Ukrainian women a path to participate in the effective integration of Ukraine into the international community in this discipline.
