WMST Listserver Meet a few of the students whose lives
Women's Studies has changed.
Goy Rabago, WMST and Spanish Major
As a non-traditional student, Women's Studies was the first place where I really felt like I could successfully navigate the university system. I first took WMST 113, Gender, Race and Class, to fulfill my multicultural requirement. The class has transformed me as a student, citizen and person. I have been able to take what I have learned in Women's Studies and apply it to other areas of study, including English, Sociology, Political Science, Theater, and Psychology. I'm not sure how I would navigate the higher education system without the great professors I have come to know.
Sigma Theta Psi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. --Eta Chapter, UNLV
Seven years ago, seven young women sought to bring a sorority to campus that embodied a commitment to diversity and inclusion. From this, Sigma Theta Psi Eta Chapter was born, and we have brought 76 UNLV students into the sisterhood. Since 2007, Women's Studies has supported our organization. They have done so much for ALL organizations with a commitment to diversity!
Judi Brown. '07, WMST and Political Science. Special Projects, The Public Education Foundation
My education in Women's Studies has served me well in my post-graduate work and
has been considered an asset by employers. The growing demand for individuals
who are armed with the rhetorical prowess to defend concepts relating to
diversity and inclusion transcends private and public sectors. I have
experienced this firsthand, having received an internship with Harrah's
Entertainment in Community and Government Relations right out of college, where
I worked closely with the VP of Diversity. In today's globalized economy, the
value of a Women's Studies education is virtually limitless. Universities,
employers, non-profit agencies and government entities all have missions that
reflect commitments to diversity. Community reinvestment and corporate social
responsibility departments and programs thrive in various industries, and
Women's Studies graduates are fitting into new and emerging roles across
sectors.
