Letter from Marianne Githens to Jo-Ann Pilardi, 1989

August 22, 1989 Ms. Jo Ann Pilardi Director Women's Studies Program Towson state University Towson, Maryland 21204 Dear Dr. Pilardi: The faculty in the Women's Studies Program at Goucher College joins me in supporting your efforts to get Women's Studies established as a full fledged major at Towson State University. Indeed, for Towson State to designate Women's studies as less than a major is quite shocking in this day and age. It is certainly inconsistent with the role your university has attempted to establish for itself as being on the cutting edge of both Women's Studies and mainstreaming. We wish you the best of luck in your efforts and are certain that your request of Towson State for full recognition of Women's Studies as a major is nothing but a mere fomality. If there is anything further that we may do to be of assistance, please let us know. We look forward to continued cooperation between your program and ours. sincerely yours, Marianne Githens Professor and Coordinator Women's Studies Program Towson. Md. 21204 301 -33 7-6000
