In the midst of violent conflict, there are lesser-known individuals who reach out across group boundaries to help others who have been targeted and victimized. With photographs and testimonials from around the world, the Rescuers Project highlights the remarkable stories of ordinary people who, at great risk to themselves, have intervened to protect and save members of targeted groups. Sharing these stories promotes healing and reconciliation, while encouraging people to intervene when they witness harm to others.
The Rescuers Project includes a traveling exhibition developed by
PROOF: Media for Social Justice.
This exhibition will be on display from March 28 - April 12, 2012 at the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies.

Dear UMass Faculty, Staff, and CSSC Fellows and Friends,
I’d like to urge your participation in this year’s UMass
Amherst Faculty and Staff Campaign.
I’d like to urge your participation in this year’s UMass
The Campaign represents an opportunity not only to support the University, but also, because the Chancellor’s Office is providing a 1:1 match of gifts up to $10,000, you can double the impact of your gift.
But that’s not all. For each dollar pledged to CSSC, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences will match it with an additional $.50. This means every dollar you give to CSSC through the UMass Faculty and Staff Campaign becomes $2.50, simply by making a commitment now. In these economic times, that is an extraordinary return.
The Campaign allows you to specifically earmark your gift allocation. You can target your support to CSSC. You can decide to support student scholarships, CSSC programming, research, or make a memorial tribute. The choice is entirely yours.
