Graduation year: 2010
Majors/Minors: Sociology & Gender Studies major
One of the greatest things about being a Gender Studies major/minor is that it's NEVER boring. While studying transgenderism in Theories of Sexual Difference (Professor Janet Kourany), we were given an extra-credit assignment: for one whole day to dress and act like a person of a different gender. It was optional, yet nearly everyone participated and went out for pizza at the end of the day. It was incredible to walk in someone else's shoes for a day and experience the looks, interactions, and expectations encountered by people of a different gender. I will never forget it.
