If you are in a hurry, you can visit the decades that are important to you. Following the social and political activism of feminists in the 1960's, a grassroots effort by faculty, students and community activists led to the establishment of the first Women's Studies Department in the nation. The department grew to a tenured faculty of three which became increasingly autonomous within the university. The 1989 academic review showed strength in numbers of students, faculty, budget, curriculum and community support. The Department celebrated its 30th anniversary by sponsoring the Pacific Southwest Women's Studies Association Conference, April 2000 and 2001.
International collaborations continue with further options developing in Latin America and Europe.
