Testimonial

"Looking back on my experiences at UConn, some of the fondest memories I have are a result of my involvement in the WGSS program. As soon as I began taking my first POLS / WGSS class, I wanted to do everything I could to get more involved in this program that before this moment in my educational career, I had never been exposed to anything like. There was nothing as influential in my college education as the eye opening information that I learned through my WGSS courses.

I would recommend participating in the small discussions that are held in the majority of WGSS classes. It really is a great way to learn to perfect your public speaking and argument articulation skills, as well as meet your peers! With UConn’s typically larger classes, this type of environment being offered is rare and should be embraced!

If you can, please take a WGSS class, no matter your major or career path, just one can really change your overall perspective for the better. The majority of those in the workforce today never had the opportunity for this education, so take it! "
