Liberal Arts Major to Claim Title of Woman in STEM After Creation of College of Arts and Sciences
With the announcement of the new college of Arts and Sciences, many majors will be grouped together into one cohesive program. Soon, students with liberal arts majors will be able to claim membership in a STEM program. As these students are predominantly female, the university is expected to see a large jump in the number of women in STEM on campus.
“I know my field of study hasn’t changed at all, but now that it’s an arts and sciences program, I think I can embrace the title of woman in STEM,” said anthropology major Tiffany Stope. “Maybe now my family will see the value of my degree and stop asking me how I plan to get a job after graduation.”
Another former Liberal Arts student echoed this sentiment. “For so long, people have just let me say I’m in STEAM, but if the arts and sciences can be grouped together for academic purposes, I don’t see why I can’t claim the title of woman in STEM,” said communication major Emelia Reston.
Despite the engineering department’s attempts to gatekeep membership, it is hard to refute claims of STEM ownership as the College of Arts and Sciences is established.

While Hannibal might come across as some psychotic murderer, he’s really just a University Honors student, got it? Yeah sure, he makes prolonged eye contact as you pass by the couches in the Lechner hallway, and his intense obsession with true crime podcasts might make you uneasy, but he’s maybe only a little bit of a sociopath at best. Leave the serial killer vibes to McFadden, okay?
