I received an “A” in Special Topics: POP Culture this summer term. So I applied for the Grad School Master’s Degree Program in Gender and Cultural Studies (GCS). I sent in my portfolio of 5 repsonse papers, an additonal information package (21 pages) my resume, application fee waiver (cool!) and Dean Haack loked everything over about 2-3 weeks ago.

The review commitee looked everything over and suggested because I was out of college for a long time (like graduated in 1982, took some unrelated grad school courses in calculus, environmental) that I should take one more class. That was great! Dean Haack even talked to Professor Kelly Hager about getting me into the Fall course on Victorian Literature and Culture, which I beleive is required for the GCS Program, I planned to take this class anyway. It’s all about poetry, Women who won the right to vote, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Elizabeth Browning (we read some of her literature in Pop Culture this summer I believe);etc. so I am really excited! The class meets on Tuesdays afternoon from 3:30-6:30 PM, so it won’t interfere with my Code Pink Book Club or the CNW “Feminism and Desert Workshops, yeah!”
