Student Life

Internships

We connect students to internships that are meaningful to them and their specific Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies interests through our fieldwork course: GSWS 4389. The course is required for the GSWS Major, and open to all students in the GSWS program and throughout the College of Liberal Arts.

Take a look at some of the organizations where our students have landed internships!

Social Justice-focused Internships

Queer-focused Internships

Sex-Positive-focused Internships

Interning with Erica Smith was a really amazing opportunity that I’m proud to have taken part in. I got to develop a resource guide to help people avoid crisis pregnancy centers and learn what treatment and care to expect at real reproductive care appointments. It also expanded my network that has led to significant professional developments and opened up an array of other opportunities for me academically and professionally.

Temple’s Study Abroad Office can help you explore this question through its Education Abroad programs and Overseas Campuses.

Student Awards

The Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Program has four annual undergraduate awards that honor academic and creative excellence in our students. The awards are acknowledged and celebrated by an annual formal award ceremony sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts for all undergraduate awards granted by departments in the liberal arts. Students invite faculty members to join them in their celebration, as well as family and friends. The event fosters the appreciation of both undergraduate academic achievement and mentor/student relationships.
