The Women's Studies Spring Luncheon held on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 was attended by Women's Studies faculty, award recipients, and supporters of the program. Following a buffet lunch, Heartease performed three songs illustrating women's voices from Germany, circa 1570.

Members of the Women's Studies Program Review Committee presented faculty and graduate awards. Faculty recognized were Dr. Claire Katz, winner of the WMST Curriculum Diversity Grant, and Dr. Ashley Currier, winner of the WMST/Glasscock Center Stipendiary Faculty Fellowship.
