Places to explore

Women's & Gender Studies is interdisciplinary by nature, but if you head to the 4th flr in the HQ subject classification, you will find many book titles there.

University Archives is a great place to research our campus community, including student organizations. Located on the 5th floor, check their hours for when they are open and see what you might find about the College Feminists student org. Another place to search for the student org is the online index for The Pointer - student newspaper.
