The 小黄片视频 Women鈥檚 Center presented 12 female students with its Sage Project Award for overcoming barriers and finding balance in following their path and making their mark at 小黄片视频. The Sage Project Award reception took place on March 11 in the Moulton Hall Ballroom.
When a student first steps on a 小黄片视频 campus, the possibilities are endless: what classes to take, picking a major, joining a student organization, building lifelong friendships. But for many female-identifying students, there are hurdles to overcome and challenges to face. The Women鈥檚 Center is often a place where students find support and encouragement in making ends meet or living their dream. Staff members hear stories about students who have overcome adversity, stepped out of their comfort zone and found balance in a life of ups and downs.
The Sage Project was created through the Women鈥檚 Center to begin sharing these stories with the community, to inspire others and to showcase stories of strength, courage and perseverance. Last March, the Women鈥檚 Center held its first recognition reception to honor 10 phenomenal women who have made the most of their time spent and education received at 小黄片视频. These women overcame barriers and found balance in following their path and making their mark at 小黄片视频.
The Sage Project was named because sage means wisdom, renewal, harmony and growth. The herb is used to heal, to help bring someone鈥檚 life back into balance and to cleanse the body and the mind of negativity. In this spirit, the Women鈥檚 Center uses the Sage Project to highlight students who have found balance, growth and renewal through their collegiate path and to inspire others.
