Why minor in gender studies?

“When I started in sociology, I fell in love with learning more about the world around us, the culture and how culture impacts our behavior. And that led to my gender studies minor and learning more about how we identify and the importance of identifying.”

Michelle Prince '17
Housing Representative for California Department of Housing and Community Development
