Graduate Students in Women's Studies
Students in the Department of Women''s Studies are leaders across campus in a variety of fields and other majors. At the undergraduate level, our students regularly hold positions in student government organizations, community service groups, intramural sports and clubs devoted to public activism.
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Women's Studies, our graduate students are often play prominent roles in other departments and programs, on-campus research centers and off-campus organizations. Our students also hold internships at local and national organizations, such as media outlets, nonprofit advocacy groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and federal and state agencies. Many of our students have also been recognized for their achievements through awards given by the University of Maryland and a variety of off-campus groups.
