traditional study of women's issues, USD 's gender studies program explores the roles of women and men in today's society. Undergraduate students are setting aside stereotypes and working toward abetter understanding between the genders.

HISTORY AND HERSTORY BY JILL WAGNER '91 W hen USD senior Tina Crowle began an internship in advertising, she immediately noticed a difference in the work habits of women and men. Neither way of complet– ing projects or dealing with co-workers was better than the other, just different. Crowle also came face-to-face with subtle distinctions between what is expected from women and men, and how individuals are treated. But unlike many young adults entering the work force, Crowle expected these differences. The lessons she learned in gender studies courses at USD suddenly became useful in her everyday life.
