To All of Our Graduates –
Congratulations on your graduation! I encourage you to reflect on all you’ve learned and accomplished during your time with us. The articles read, the papers written, the questions asked, the beliefs reconsidered, the deadlines met. The path has not always been clear or easy, and yet you have arrived at this moment. Celebrate your terrific work!
We love that you have included the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies on your journey. Your passion, determination, and resiliency have inspired us all. We can’t wait to see what you do as you take on the next big thing! Forward!
– Judy Houck, Evjue-Bascom Professor and Chair in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and Professor in the Department of History
