During the 2018-19 AY, Dr. Heidi R. Lewis, then Director and Associate Professor, developed and implemented several initiatives intended to maintain better relationships and connections with the Feminist & Gender Studies community on and off-campus. She began by hosting a Homecoming event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the major with a keynote address by Brady Montalbano Connaughton ('02) followed by the first "Alumni Spotlight," also featuring Brady, and the annual newsletter for Feminist & Gender Studies alumni, parents, and donors.
