Events offered by The Women's and Gender Studies Program

The Women's and Gender Studies Program sponsors various events each semester for students, faculty and staff, and the larger community. We bring nationally-prominent feminist speakers to campus, we host informal gatherings, and we offer field trips to events in other communities.

A current list of programs offered this semester is included below, along with an archive of past events. Note that events are listed in reverse chronological order, so scroll down!
