The Karen Raforth Scholarship was created to help support students who show an aptitude for leadership and involvement with LGBTQIA issues. Dr. Karen Raforth as a University psychologist and assistant director for UCB Counseling Services was instrumental in helping create and administer many successful ongoing educational and social programs that were a major force in making the climate for LGBTQIA students positive and welcoming. This award honors the work and leadership of Dr. Karen Raforth, who spent years devoting her time and talent to the LGBTQIA community at CU Â鶹ӰԺ.

The Evan Wolfson Prize in LGBTQ Studies recognizes the outstanding work of an undergraduate student at Â鶹ӰԺ whose sole-author paper or creative work deals with LGBTQ issues, broadly defined. The Wolfson Prize, named to honor the work and impact of gay rights activism, was established and made possible through the generous gifts provided by Thomas Stephens (University of Colorado, class of 1974) and Todd Enders.
