"For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities, Queer studies can be a saving grace, a connection to our histories and futures. As a major in Feminist Studies, focusing on LGBT/Queer studies instilled in me a strong sense of pride and connection to the communities i am a part of. 

After analyzing the work of scholars and activists who come before me, i leave Stanford confident that i can make a lasting contribution to a better future for both women's rights and LGBT rights."
