The Women's Studies Program regularly sponsors activities for students and faculty, such as book discussions, film festivals, potluck dinners, and trivia contests. Any student who wants to suggest or organize an activity should see Dr. Wylie. The WRC also organizes various programs on women's issues. The Department of English and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology sponsor undergraduate research symposia every spring.
Students present their research in a professional setting.
Students serve as session organizers, presenters, and discussants, giving them professional experience that most students do not gain until graduate school or early in their professional careers. We often invite one of our graduates to return to give a keynote address for the symposium. Participation at Professional Meetings Even before graduation, our minors have presented papers at professional meetings outside our campus. Women's Studies students often make presentations at state, regional, or national Women's Studies meetings. If you are interested in doing this or would like more information, contact Dr. Wylie.
