Finding your footing starts with finding your people and we wanted to be part of that from day one!! Grateful to be at Week of Welcome introducing Huskies to the Women’s Center, because we’re not just here for the hard days. We’re here for the everyday. Come say hi :))
Late May, the Women’s Center sent five students Mikayla, Aku, Annabell, Mutia, and Joy to NCCWSL at the University of Maryland, one of the biggest leadership conferences in the country. They learned all about confidence, career growth, and connected with women doing amazing things!!!
Never too late to congratulate our graduated seniors! To our seniors thank you for everything you poured into this space. You made this place feel like home for so many people, and that doesn’t just disappear when you walk across that stage. We are so proud of you. Go change the world. 💜💜
