This is What a Feminist Looks Like 2016 is coming up next week! Wednesday 1/27 in Mason Hall and Thursday 1/28 in Pierpont Commons
Look out for a screening of Code: Debugging the Gender Gap in Februrary!
We have aired Miss Representation and the Mask You Live In previously.
Last semester, Sava spoke about her experiences being a young female entrepreneur in the primarily male-dominated restaurant industry, and her experiences as an immigrant coming to the U.S. It was a fabulous event and we were lucky to have her!
Here are some examples of previous professional workshops we have offered our members. We will continue to offer professional resources this semester!
We hosted a circle discussion at MHacks about gender dynamics at the coding competition. Next weekend, we will be at Makeathon on 1/30, a product design competition, to host a discussion about Women in Making.
Look out for applications for circle committees in the recap email!
New this semester – you must be a Lean In circle member for at least one semester to moderate a circle.
