Paul Fasana ’60 established the Paul Fasana LGBTQ Studies Fellowship to help students and give back to UC Berkeley. As an award to financially assist students who are furthering LGBTQ studies in their research or work, the Paul Fasana LGBTQ Studies Fellowship supports students in their studies, similarly to how Fasana was supported in school with the G.I. Bill. Fasana shared, “I thought that would be a good way to begin to give back and to help people who are just starting out.” Learn more about Paul Fasana’s time at UC Berkeley and the impact of the Paul Fasana LGBTQ Studies Fellowship: https://ow.ly/6wLR50S9W2f.
