Reflection, Resilience, and Restoration: Women’s & Gender Studies Celebrates 40 Years of Excellence

The Women’s and Gender Studies Program is hosting “Reflection, Resilience, and Restoration: A Celebration of 40 Years of Women’s and Gender Studies.” The celebration includes a student and alumni roundtable, a presentation by leaders and alumni, and a reception. The Program, in conjunction with Atkins Library and the Public History Program, is also sponsoring an ongoing WGST Library Archival and Oral History Project.

These efforts offer a lens to illuminate the vital role of the WGST Program as an intellectually rigorous and interdisciplinary beacon for academic excellence. By chronicling WGST’s history and sponsoring engaging programming where students, alumni, former WGST directors, and faculty share their perspectives and experiences in networking and roundtable events, these 40th Anniversary events provide valuable support and leadership guidance to inform the educational and professional pathways of current students. Please contact WGST Director Dr. Sonya Ramsey if you have any questions about these events or the Library Project at wgst40thanniversary@charlotte.edu.
