Meet the Coordinator

This is an image of the Gender and Sexuality Studies Coordinator. The image shows a Caucasian female smiling at the camera. She is wearing a black blouse. Behind her is a library filled with books. The image and bio are condensed on top of a purple background with a title of the intern's name on top that reads Dr. Laura Westengard.
