Abigail speaks on the demographics of the department, how people perceive the department, and why GWS is important, especially in the context of sexual assaults and dynamics on campus. Abigail also discusses women and sexuality, her perceptions of social media, how her GWS certificate applies to her nursing major on account if its intersectional nature, social activism, and her favorite things about the department.
