We’ve celebrated the 30th anniversary of the founding of our program all year. In October, 2011, alumnae from the 1980s, 1990s, through 2007 joined faculty and current majors to reflect on our collective history. We cried a little, laughed a lot, and experienced again the shared passion that marks the three decades of the program and the many amazing ways our alums have transformed lives, communities and work.
We have so much to celebrate. Since our first graduating class of 12 Women’s Studies majors
in 1987, we now have 600 alums and 300 current email addresses. Five classes of WST majors will
return for reunion: 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2007.
