How do you like Her Campus UWB so far?
I like being a part of Her Campus UWB. It’s really empowering to see a women group thriving. I think it’s really important to have that women empowerment on campus.
Do you want to add something?
In addition, since today’s is international women’s day, I believe its important to remember all of the amazing women leaders that have triumphed for us to be able to have the experiences that we have today. I believe that UWB is really helpful in promoting equality for women and we should uphold that standard for the coming years.
