HOW DOES A WOMEN'S STUDIES MINOR COMPLEMENT YOUR MAJOR?

Michelle More, Chemistry "The Women's Studies Minor compliments my major by (1) exposing how gender affects the process of science; (2) balancing and aiding in a better understanding of a male-dominated field; and (3) recognizing and appreciating the differences between women and men." 
undefined Sandra Powell, Business Admin "Knowing how women think and becoming expert in women's issues is a very valuable thing in the business world.  This can help in motivating women workers and setting up programs, hours, benefits, etc."

Leigh Shaw, Psychology "The Women's Studies Minor compliments my major by showing breadth in terms of examining social relations from multiple perspectives, particularly highlighting how power and status inform social relations."
Becky Johns, Department of Communication "We have an emphasis in family and interpersonal communication which is closely aligned with goals of women's studies." 
Diane Krantz, English "The Women's Studies Minor complements my major by providing background and insights into women's issues that impact the reading of literatures by and about women."
