Empowerment Collage in the Student Center’s East Lounge @ 12!

Hello Everyone!

Today at noon we will be having a meeting in the Student Center’s East Lounge. There we will provide updates, answer questions, and host an activity. The activity, an empowerment collage, will be based on AAUW @ CSUMB’s mission statement. Our goal for this activity is to brainstorm ideas for a tagline or phrase surrounding what our organization stands for, and create a collaborative art piece we can display at future meetings and events. We have some supplies including glue sticks, scissors, and poster boards, but feel free to bring magazines or newspapers to clip from – and anything else creative!

AAUW @ CSUMB’s Mission Statement:

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) at CSUMB advocates for all women and allies, providing a safe space and the educational tools necessary to navigate university life and beyond. We are dedicated to civic engagement and community collaboration through events, group discussions, and volunteer work to help promote equality and inclusivity for all women.
