“And you can always hear this long sob story: ‘You know it takes time.’ For three hundred years, we’ve given them time. And I’ve been tired so long, now I am sick and tired of being sick and tired, and we want a change.”

Know your history. Read this speech. Fannie Lou Hamer knew.

We are thrilled to share that three WGS seniors: Rayna Carter, Teresa Lu, and Alexandra Audrain, have all been given 2026 Presidential Excellence Awards! We know our seniors are amazing—it's nice to see that the university recognizes it, too!

Hard to believe, but Maymester is right around the corner! If you need a course to fill out your schedule, WGS has two amazing offerings: WMST3270, The Gendered Politics of Food (counts for experiential learning!) and WMST2300, Intro to LGBTQ+ Studies. These are great classes where you dig into the subject matter every day and really get to know your classmates. Sign up and spread the word!!

TOMORROW! We are thrilled to welcome renowned poet, author, activist, and all around amazing human Alexis Pauline Gumbs as our 32nd Andrea Carson Coley lecturer. This is one you don’t want to miss. Free and open to the public! Join us at noon in MLC 214.

We’re all ready for the Financial Literacy Fair! We’ll be here on Myers Quad from 12-3pm along with a bunch of other great organizations. We’ve got swag, flyers, info, games—and there’s a bouncy house, a rodeo Bulldog (!) and a dunk tank! Come say hi and learn a thing!
