Student Spotlights

  • Ken Delecki '11
    English Major
    "For me, being a Women's and Gender Studies student has meant that rather than brainwashing me with propaganda that makes me feel ashamed for being male, the women's studies program has opened my eyes to the common struggles shared by all people in our gendered world, allowing me to analyze the problems that create gender divisions and pervading stereotypes that are detrimental to the achievement of gender equality."
  • @AlternateTextCatherine Kruse '11
    English Major, Women's and Gender Studies Minor
    [T]he Women's and Gender Studies Program feels like home to me. I love being able to choose different gender-related classes in different subject areas, which not only broadens my horizons, but forms new personal connections with professors that I would normally not come into contact with.
  • @AlternateTextRegina Mills '09
    English, Sociology/Anthropology Major, Concentration in Women’s Studies
    "For me, being a Women and Gender Studies student has meant re-inventing myself. WGS courses and its interdisciplinary nature have changed the way I view every aspect of life. I view everything with a critical eye, not only more aware of the gendered aspects of life, but also the effects of class, race, and sexuality on individual actions and society as a whole. The WGS community helped me flourish as a woman and supported me in a number of ways outside of the classroom."
  • @AlternateTextAnne Van Devender '09
    Computer Science Major, Concentration in Women's and Gender Studies
    "For me, being a Women's and Gender studies student has meant changing the way I think about EVERYTHING. It has not only made me critical of the gendered aspects of society, but it also has made me rethink why other aspects of society are the way they are. This program has truly transformed the way I think, both in and out of the classroom."
