In a Student's Words: "As my final evaluation for undergraduate Women's Studies, I will wrap it all up in saying that I have yet to be disappointed in this department. Each instructor I have engaged with (Jonet, Williams, Hamzeh & Benanti) have provided knowledge, safe learning spaces, thoughtful readings and assignments and a place where a student can both grow and thrive happily. I am a different student and person because of my involvement with this department and the instructors within. The language and lenses I leave with are gifts of academia, which I will always owe to the learning experiences shared with students and instructors in this department."
