Hello Scholars,
As you head home for spring break, please keep this in mind: the Scholars program is having a drive for the S.O.S. Women’s Shelter. As a way to give back to women and children in need, we are having a combination toy, book, clothing, and toiletries drive. Please swing by Mallory’s office during her office hours (TU 130, in the CIW Commons) to drop off your donation. It is really appreciated and can really help make a difference.
Thanks,
Alexis Stecker
Women’s Initiative Now was co-sponsored by the Scholars Program, Hillel, and Women’s Student Union. Thanks to everyone who participated and attended! We hope to make this a bigger and better event every year, and your help is what makes it happen!
