Mission

The mission of the GWGSS is to represent and support the interests of graduate student majors and minors in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, as well as those who are interested in or affiliated with the program. The GWGSS exists to enrich the experience of said graduate students through creating intellectual networks and providing leadership, social, and professional opportunities, as well as to ensure adequate and fair representation of graduate student interests within the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. The GWGSS accomplishes these goals through various events intended to promote intellectual community both within the graduate student community and between graduate students and faculty.
