Woman, Gender, and Sexuality Studies 2024 Research Symposium

The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies legacy is one to be celebrated. Throughout this poster, we commemorate all that the program has done and continues to do. The modernized retro styled font references the time-period in which the program originated and how the program continues to grow and evolve, taking charge of the ever-changing world around us. ​

The sunrays serve as a powerful symbol of enlightenment. Just as the sun's rays illuminate the world, WGSS illuminates students' understanding of identity, representation, and the complexities of gender and sexuality. ​
The sunrays symbolize the ways in which WGSS sheds light on important issues, helping students to navigate and understand their own identities and roles within society. The frame around the sunrise symbolizes how the WGSS program educates students and helps them change the frame in which they see the world. ​

The ivy plant grows over any obstacles in its path and rarely stops. The ivy bordering the composition represents both the growth the program has endured throughout the years and how the curriculum is always adapting in response to world-wide events. Overall, every element on this poster represents and empowers the growing legacy of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. ​

This poster and promotional items were created together with Abby Rosenberger and Hailey Marczak.
