"As a graduating Gender and Women's Studies Major I can honestly say my outlook on the world has been changed because of my major. My classes have affected me beyond the walls of the classroom. What I have learned is relevant no matter what situation I am in. I've learned most importantly to ask "why?" Why is the world the way it is and why do we accept the world to be what it is? My courses and my professors have opened my eyes to the fact that the world is what we make of it, and sexism is still prevalent in every aspect of life, even if it doesn't seem obvious. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn how to think critically. Gender and Women's Studies majors and minors understand that the world could be a better place, and as a Gender and Women's Studies student, I want to be part of that change."-Tara Lombardia

  Congratulations to our 2013 GWS Graduates!



GWS Majors and Minors celebrate with Dr. Catherine Kerrison at the
GWS Graduation Luncheon on May 4, 2013.

"My GWS classes broadened my horizons and encouraged me to look at the world in a completely different way. Gender politics play a huge role in society today. If it were not for GWS, I never would have realized just how much of an impact they have on my life and those around me."

-Kelly Dyckman, Psychology major and GWS minor

"My experience in the Gender and Women's Studies program has been overwhelmingly positive. As students, we engaged in a diverse set of topics that related to our personal interests. I believe that my broad education at Villanova University will be an invaluable asset in today's multicultural society."
