Women on Wednesdays
Welcome to WGS on Wednesdays, a
legacy of the Women on Wednesdays lecture series!
Established by Program Director Dr. Phyllis Thompson in 2012, the then-called "Women
on Wednesdays" series was designed to highlight the academic work of women on campus.
Since the series' inception, a wide array of faculty, graduate students, and advanced
undergraduate students have presented their research to faculty, staff, students and
the community.
Check out the lineup for this academic year and the videos from past lectures below!
