Programming Committee works to create and recreate Women’s Center programs which include discussions, film screenings, and interactive activities surrounding topics regarding feminism, body image, media literacy, politics, herstory, and mental health. These include annual programs such as Fat Talk Free Week, Love Your Body Day, Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Start Smart, Women’s Herstory Month, Elect Her, Lunafest, Pay Equity, and Fresh Check Day. Although these are some of the Women’s Center’s signature programs, we plan on organizing additional programs based on educational, cultural, social and developmental needs of students, with the goal of advancing gender equity on campus and in the wider community.
