On May 1st, 2015, the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies celebrated the 40th year of Feminist Studies on OSU campus. Alumni, donors, faculty, graduate students, staff and undergraduate award winning students celebrated together at the Longaberger Alumni House. Past Chairs Susan Hartmann, Sally Kitch, Valerie Lee and Linda Mizejewski all spoke on their experiences and the milestones that everyone worked together to achieve so that the department as we know it today could exist. In addition, a multimedia video featuring words from Lisa Lopez, the first graduate with a Women’s Studies degree was created and shown to commemorate the evening.
