Women's Studies Program at Miami University
Student Profiles
Shannon Payne (1999)
"When I reflect on my experiences at Miami, I realize that the Women's Studies Program provided me with a safe space to become myself, and to voice that self. In my first semester, I took an introductory WMS class that changed every class I took thereafter."

Sarah Pliske (2010)
"I think any student who genuinely desires a deeper understanding of the social structures that shape our daily lives would benefit from courses in Women's Studies ... I highly encourage anyone who values social justice, especially students interested in politics, international studies, any of the humanities, psychology or other service-oriented careers to take a Women's Studies class."

Katie Booher (2009)
"WMS gives students another way of looking at the world. It exposes them to people and places and situations they may not encounter as a business or accounting major and it forces them to expand their attitudes and shift their perceptions."
