I think that having an MA in Women's & Gender Studies is really important and necessary. It also can get you a job that isn't necessarily in the field, but lends itself to insight in many other fields that don't have a grasp on gender-related issues. My degree led me into a series of possible career moves, from working as a consultant to a foundation, to touring in an all-girl band, to becoming a founding member of a rock camp for girls in Brooklyn, NY, to my current position as a program officer of youth media at the Academy for Educational Development in NY, NY. |

I graduated in May 200 with a BA in Women's and Gender Studies and found a job a few weeks after graduation. I now work for the University in the English Department full time (not WGS related). However, I still work part time as a Client Advocate at SAFE in Hunterdon, a non-profit agency in New Jersey that aids women and children who have been affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. |

I graduated from Douglass College in 2004 with a degree in English and Women's and Gender Studies, a minor in Art History and a certificate in Women's Leadership from IWL. After graduation, I worked in the publishing world as a freelance writer, but also as editor and community producer for gURL.com, a fun, feminist teen website (owned by NBC Universal at the time). It was great experience and when I was applying for editorial positions in NYC, my Women's Studies degree (as well as my previous internships), really allowed me to stand out from the rest of the candidate pool. |

I graduated with an MA in Women's and Gender Studies in 2004 having completed a practicum in Dublin at the Irish Family Planning Association. I continued on at Rutgers at the Institute for Women's Leadership (IWL) for two years with the undergraduate Leadership Scholars Program. At this time, I collaborated with a fellow graduate student, Ingrid Hu Dahl, and a group of women musicians in New York City to found the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, a music camp for girls ages 8 to 18 that incorporates feminist principles. |

I would like to share my Women’s and Gender studies experience at Rutgers University. For more than fifteen years, I worked as the Executive Director of an organization that provided services for elderly Palestinians in the Galilee and developed new community services. At one point I felt a strong need to make a change in my career and I applied for the Humphrey Fellowship Program in the summer of 2002. My application was accepted and I made my way to Rutgers University in the fall of 2003 and started my Humphrey year. |
