| “The Women's Studies program teaches students to analyze society, politics, interpersonal relationships, literature, art, communication, the media and more through the lens of feminist critique. The Women's Studies program inspired me to speak out about the injustices faced by myself and others; the empowerment I gained from Women's Studies classes and professors is priceless.” |

—Lyndie Christensen ('06), Women's Studies and Spanish major |
| “Working within the Women’s
Studies department allows students to meet a variety of
professors and students from all areas of academia. And
students have the opportunity to attend the No Limits
conference at UNL and present if you want, which is an
amazing experience.” |

| "The courses allowed me to examine the world from a whole new perspective, opening my eyes and forcing me to reexamine my own values and beliefs. Because of my experiences in the program, I have gained a much better understanding of the many different roles that women can have in today's global community." |

–Steph Colvin ('02), women's studies and communication major |
| "What I appreciate most about women's studies courses is the chance to investigate in depth issues that are not recognized in other classes. The program offers an interdisciplinary view of the hurdles facing our world today. Students examine these issues from philosophical, historical, and political perspectives in an open, supportive environment." |
