"Kate Drabinski is a lecturer in Gender and Women’s Studies and director of the WILL Program at UMBC.

One of my biggest frustrations as a student was writing papers that would be read only by the professor and then stuck in a trash can somewhere, never to be seen again. I wanted to have bigger conversations with more people, to practice engaging in the conversations I knew were happening outside the classroom."
