Congratulations to Michelle Gutsch, our fall 2008 Women's and

| Ashley
Bennett, class of 2007, works as an Associate for Communications and
Development for the international nongovernmental organization, CEDPA,
in Washington, D.C. She says, "What I most
appreciate about the Women's and Gender Studies curriculum is how
diverse the options are. The ability to get a perspective from Africa to
Asia and everywhere in between adds to the appeal of the minor." |

Paul Winterscheidt, Police Officer for the
City of Superior, says, "The Women's Studies
courses I completed at the University of Wisconsin have benefitted me in
my career. Gender issues are a big part of my job, and my experience at
UW-Superior gave me a better appreciation for the issues women face in
the criminal justice system." |
