| Congratulations to our Women's Studies Graduates, Class of 2016!
Among other things, the Global Center for Women and Justice is an academic institution that works directly with the students of Vanguard University. We have several student workers and interns to help us accomplish what we do, as well as over 30 students per year studying the issues we advocate for.
This month we celebrated 10 graduating Women's Studies Minor Students who have worked hard to Study the Issues, Be a Voice and Make a Difference. When students graduate with a minor in Women's Studies, they are prepared to enter their future workplaces with a well-rounded mindset of how all people should be treated with equality and dignity. The topics addressed in this minor teach students about traditional and cultural gender biases that transcend into every aspect of life. The Global Center for Women and Justice wants to ensure that all students are committed to be an Advocate for Justice among the most vulnerable groups in their communities.
