Upcoming Events

As you make your way through campus, you might find yourself pulling the sleeves of your sweater down around your fingers. A slight breeze is in the air and you notice the naked trees and their leaves settling on the sidewalk.

 Fall is finally here and it's always so beautiful in Bloomsburg. 

 Homecoming and football games and pumpkin patch trips, undoubtedly, mark up the dates of your October calendar.

 But as you plan ahead for these festive events, here are a couple more to keep on your radar...

As Lex's final post says, I am Jose Gamboa. I am the new blogger for the BU Gender Studies Minor for the spring 2020 term! I have been active within the minor since I declared it in spring of 2018. Pictured: Jose Gamboa You can expect to see consistent weekly (up to semiweekly) posts from me related to information about events pertaining to Gender & Women Studies on Bloomsburg University campus, and the surrounding Bloomsburg area; more Student Profiles to highlight what our students are accomplishing within the minor; interviews with alumni to see what they have done after completing the GSM program and what the program offered them for their futures; and much more!

Always and forever, Jose Gamboa
