On Thursday, I went to my very first Takeover Thursday at Diablitos. I would definitely recommend for everybody to attend a Takeover event in the Women's and Gender Studies Department! It is awesome. Not only do you get free food (I swear by free food), but you also get to mingle with some awesome students and professors in the department. I met some fabulous professors in the Women's and Gender Studies department, and we got to talk a lot about the Reclaiming Feminism event, as well as other cultural implications that come with women aka how women are expected to change their last names when they get married. Who knew topics like that could come up so easily in every day conversation?
I will definitely continue to attend Takeover Thursday until I graduate...and even then I may crash the party. It is such a wonderful experience getting to talk to other students and professors in the department. One thing I always tell students that are interested in the Women's and Gender Studies program is that it is like a little family. It is so easy to talk to the students and professors and actually create a meaningful relationship with them. It may not sound like much, but I think it can really change your academic career. If you have not gone to a Takeover Thursday, make sure you do next semester! Free food and conversation!
