Education with Passion

Being a part of Women’s Studies at CSUS has transformed me. Not only have I gained numerous skills that will further my educational, and career goals, but I have also been given the tools to fight against the social injustices affecting women on a local as well as global scale.

Brooke S. Davis,
Women’s Studies major

Women’s Studies is essential for a complete college education. It has provided me a strong framework and support system that has enabled me to think critically. This ability has empowered me to formulate a more inclusive world view, igniting a passion for social change and celebrating choices within all aspects of my life

Ruth Breech,
Women’s Studies major

I am just passionate about the study. I switched from English to Women’s Studies, because I want to improve the status of women and be educated enough to understand the real battle.

Ebony Aaron,
Women’s Studies major

I’ve learned more from the few classes I took for my minor than in all my other classes combined. I learned about different types of oppression, different groups that are oppressed, different reactions to oppression, different results of oppression and different ways to fight oppression.

Kristy Johnson
Women’s Studies minor

I have switched majors four or five times and I have finally found the major that intrigues me the most. Women’s Studies gives me the “other side” of current events that most people never hear.

Joanne Ahola,
Women’s Studies major

I am a Women’s Studies major because I am a feminist and for me Women’s Studies helps me make sense of the world as well as strengthen my desire to make some kind of change in the world.
