When Sidonie (Sid) Smith's partner, Bill Kinley, began his search for a meaningful way to mark her milestone 80th birthday, he looked to the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA). Sid Smith, the Lorna G. Goodison Distinguished University Professor Emerita of English and Women's Studies, is both a proud LSA alumna and the former chair of LSA's English and women's and gender studies departments, as well as the former director of the LSA Institute for the Humanities.
Bill chose to make a gift that honors two impactful points in Sid's journey at Michigan, establishing the Sidonie Smith Undergraduate Study Abroad Support Fund in the Department of English and the Sidonie Smith Award for Doctoral Studies Completion in the Humanities Fund for the joint PhD Program in Women's and Gender Studies and English.
