Student Organizations and Activities
Many students in the Program serve on the Women's and Gender Studies Council, composed of faculty, staff and students who oversee the administration of the program. Among the responsibilities of the Council are the selection of recipients of the Margareta Deschner Teaching Award; selection of recipients of student research assistantships and faculty development grants; the publication of a newsletter for the Women's and Gender Studies Network - -subscribers including past students, faculty, and members of the community; curriculum development; providing student input to the Program Director. Tuition, cash awards, and research assistantships are awarded every year through the Ann Early endowment and the Betty Janette Maynard endowments. Students may participate in a variety of conferences, lectures, and social events. Many also participate in activities sponsored by the Women's Center
