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.

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 |
