Quality of Learning

  Josh Corlew, SRSC 2016
  Garden Programs Coordinator, Plant the Seed, Nashville, TN

I was not excited about going back to school when I first started the SRSC program. In my head graduate school was stressful, strenuous, and tiring.

  Brandi Button, SRSC 2013

  Acting Executive Director, Sustainable Glasgow Inc. and Instructor of Gender and Women's Studies WKU

The GWS Certificate and SRSC program prepared me to critically analyze the world in which I live. With the education I received I am able to not "take for granted" that things are "the way they have always been and are the way they are always going to be." I question injustices on a daily basis.

The M.A. in SRSC has helped me understand what's really socially important in life--the people...I searched high and low for a Master's program that would sufficiently complement my B.A. and Gender & Women's Studies Graduate Certificate.  Read more...

 

  Leigh Gaskin, SRSC 2014
  PhD Student,  Washington State University

While it may seem that my interests are far reaching, I feel that one of the best concepts learned through the SRSC is how to dream big, to think about a world where equality and equity thrives and drives a nation, but also to understand how to cope when your goals and vision are not realized.
