The Women's Studies Program Records primarily document events and activities organized or sponsored by the Women’s Studies Program at South Dakota State University. The bulk of the material relates to Women’s History Month celebrations, including calendars of events, the Women’s History Month Film Festival, and the Woman of Distinction Awards Tea. Also included are materials from the “Building Bridges: A Multicultural Exploration of Women’s Achievements” program and other sponsored initiatives. The collection contains promotional items such as programs, posters, and pamphlets, along with documentation of the Women’s Studies minor.
This collection reflects the program’s role in promoting gender awareness, multiculturalism, and academic inquiry into women’s contributions to society. It is particularly valuable for researchers interested in the development of women’s studies as a discipline at SDSU, campus activism, and public programming related to gender equity.
