CUNY DIGITAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

This external report on the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) was submitted in May 2008 by Adrienne Munich, interim chair of the Women's Studies Program at the State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook University. Munich began the report by praising CSWS for its work and highlighting its importance as part of the City University of New York (CUNY). She opened the actual report with CSWS's structure and recommended additional administrative personnel, support for the director, and a college assistant dedicated exclusively to CSWS. She also underscored the importance of the Women's Studies Discipline Council, the Feminist Studies Group, Women Writing Women's Lives, College and Community Fellowship (CCF), and Community Leadership and Education Reentry (CLEAR) programs. Munich also commented on CSWS's lecture series and ongoing publications, such as Women's Studies Quarterly and the Feminist Press. The document ended with an email from Munich to GC Vice President for Research Brian Schwartz containing the aforementioned report. In this email, she identified CSWS as both a treasure and a bargain.
