End of the Year Gala 2009 was a Success!!!

What a great time we had at the Women's Studies End of the Year Gala, May 2009. We honored three Lillian Robles award winners, cheered on our 2009 WST graduates, and celebrated the department's official name change to Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies. A big thanks to WSSA, WST dep't staff, Maggie Munoz and the Robles Family.
