Every year the Women’s Studies Program organizes a daylong trip to Seneca Falls and Auburn, N.Y. in commemoration of the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first women’s rights convention held in the United States. In the past, participants have visited the Women’s Rights National Historic Park and the homes of Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and William Seward. Please email
Kimmie Garner, Program Assistant, if you're interested in learning more or attending!
A student-run production of
The Vagina Monologues is held every spring. The play, written by Eve Ensler, is a series of monologues in which women reflect on different aspects of female sexuality, including their own personal experiences with sex and their attitudes toward their genitalia. The production serves both as a fundraiser and an awareness event. Contact
Christina Liu '13, 2013 Co-Director, for more details.
