Potential and Current Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Major/Minor Social and Info Session - A Great Success!
The fall 2011 "Potential and Current Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Major/Minor Social and Info Session" was a great success! The event was held in Dr. Shannon Lundeen's home (on-campus) and was very well attended. Students who attended met new people, got information about the requirements for the program, looked over the long list of courses offered in GSWS, and also got to hear about all of the different career opportunities available to Penn students who graduate with a degree or a minor in Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies.
