"The Women and Gender Studies program is the best interdisciplinary program at USM. And this is the case not only because of the timely and intellectually challenging courses and programming the program offers, but also because it is filled with faculty who are some of the best teachers and scholars on campus. Therefore, I am extremely honored to receive this award from such a distinguished group." from the acceptance remarks by Dr. James Messerschmidt, recipient of the 2010-2011 MacPherson Outstanding Feminist Faculty Award
