Feminist Mixer Wednesday, December 5, 2007 Alumni House @6:30p.m.
Sponsored by WAGS and associated student groups (FORGE, BFF, NSFC, W.I.L.L., D.I.Y.). Meet interested faculty, staff, and students. Current club members from groups like FORGE, WILL, and NFSC will have information about their clubs and about the activities they've been involved in this semester (such as flood relief). Come see all the good work that our students have done this semester, get to know club members, and get involved. This is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to gather and reflect on this semester's accomplishments and brainstorm about projects for next semester.
Shannon Murray will play two concerts in the Winona area on the weekend of September 22 and 23. Shannon's music calls people to action around many pressing social causes. Please join Shannon for an evening of socially conscious music!

What is Women's Studies?
Women's Studies is a multidisciplinary program that looks at the lives and experiences of women through many disciplines--history, art, psychology, economics, and public health, among others. Students in the Women's Studies Program explore the ways in which gender shapes women's and men's experiences in various global cultures. They also consider how cultural differences affect women's lives within multicultural societies. The program is committed to integrating classroom and community, and to preparing students to be active citizens in their communities. Students in Women's Studies apply feminist theories and analyses to current social issues and develop the skills necessary for active citizenship.
What is FORGE?
FORGE (Fighting for Our Rights and Gender Equality) is the Women's Studies student group. FORGE provides learning and leadership opportunities for students who are interested in women's and gender-related issues, human rights issues, campus and community activism, and ending discrimination. FORGE is a great way to get involved in campus activities and activism. You do not have to be a Women's Studies minor to be a member of FORGE!
