“I am a double major in Women's and Gender Studies and Political Science, so I really enjoy being able to learn about diversity, equity, and inclusion in WGS and applying this to the structural form of policy and government in Political Science. I also really like the professors in WGS that I have had so far because they care about your learning and you as a person."
— Monet Lindstrand
