WGST Senior Capstone Class The Santa Clara Women’s and Gender Studies Department is continuing to grow and thrive. With your support on this Day of Giving we can expand funded research and internship opportunities for students who wish to engage in the practice of feminism. These experiences are often transformative in our students' lives and your gift will make a difference.
Thank you,

Chair, Women’s and Gender Studies Department
“WGST has allowed me to grow as an individual and as a scholar through its interdisciplinary nature and its culture of care. My classes and professors have increased my ability to use my education practically and enabled me to look at the world through a more critical lens that recognizes injustice, yet empowers me to do something about it.”
- Alexandra Perez, Class of 2023
“Women’s and Gender Studies has created a space on campus in which I feel safe, accepted, and supported. My classes have helped educate me in ways I could have never imagined and have allowed my peers and me to have difficult conversations around taboo topics that are often overlooked in other classes. I feel so grateful to have the opportunity to learn and grow with other WGST students and faculty and look forward to applying all that I’ve learned to my future career journey!”
-Emma Bario, Class of 2023
