About us:  We are a committee of graduate students interested in all areas of gender equality.  We aim to raise awareness among the USC student body and engage the larger community regarding social and political issues related to women's rights and issues in academia and professionalization, as well as LGBT issues.  Through social events, workshops, informal discussions, and lecture series, we hope to raise issues that we feel are effecting all of us (and not just women!). In graduate school, we need support systems aside from friends and colleagues, and so our committee recognizes the need to feel part of a community.
