Events

We have a film series that is open for everyone to come in and enjoy.  We play a movie every month of the school year and each movie has a specific theme under WGSS.  The movies will be followed by a discussion facilitated by the Graduate  students in the department.   All movies begin at 7:00PM and are shown on the 1st floor of the Psychology Building. So come out, enjoy a movie, and be part of a discussion that you don’t want to miss!**
