Women's Studies and Gender Studies graduate students Hayley Blomquist and Keisa Reynolds will make brief presentations derived from their essays that won the Mary Griffin prize for graduate writing in the program. Refreshments will be served.
The Mary Griffin Essay Award is designed to honor excellence in scholarship and writing among the graduate students in the Women¿s Studies and Gender Studies Program. The award is endowed in the name of Mary Griffin (1916-1998), a member of the order of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (B.V.M.), who was an English professor at Mundelein College and, later, Loyola University Chicago. She was an innovator in education and an advocate for social justice, participating in both the Civil Rights Movement and the Feminist Movement in the 1970s.
