The Gender Studies minor prepared me for an international internship at this global 组织 by giving me the tools to view the world from a perspective that questions societal norms surrounding gender and emphasizes the importance of women’s empowerment around the world.

The Gender Studies minor gave me a better understanding of the systematic oppression that clients face on a daily basis. It focused on all genders and how societal expectations impact people’s lives. This helps me understand why certain clients may have harder times in therapy and to understand their cultural context when it comes to treatment.
