I believe this event will be  of interest to many students, not only those considering a major or minor in Gender and Women’s Studies, but also students with interests in public policy and law, social justice work, and non-profits.  I’d be grateful if you could forward this invitation to the students you advise.  The event is open to all students, faculty and staff. Scheduled for April 5, 2013.

This experience can lead to internships in the EU.
