- internships or community service with organizations committed to working for gender equality or dealing with issues of domestic/sexual violence locally, nationally, globally;
- organizing community round table discussions relevant to the course of study in minor;
- working with student organizations such as SOUP or Women’s Global Network to raise visibility and awareness of their goals, and assist in organizing community events.
- working with appropriate campus groups and programs to address enhancing campus climate in relation to sex and gender.
