What we've been up to/ what you've missed:

March 4th - We supported Women's Herstory Month by attending their opening kickoff event at the breezeway outside the Atrium!

March 11th- Discussed our upcoming events, including "Dating Queer in a Straight World", with Professor Maya Poran on March 12th. This event proved to be a very stimulating conversation topic and got a great turnout.

March 25th- This day saw our attendance at the event we co-sponsored with Ramapo SAFE, FemU and the Women's Center, featuring speaker Princess Kali.

April 1st- Our meeting focused on a discussion on our upcoming event Diversity Dance, and was cut short by a fire alarm :(

Upcoming Events:

4/15- Professor Chocky Panel: 5:30 pm room A-107

4/18- Day of Alliance:

The Day of Alliance is a spin-off of the traditionally acknowledged "Day of Silence" that is being recognized for the first time this year at Ramapo College. On April 18th, the Ramapo community is encouraged to speak out (rather than remain silent) against discrimination by proclaiming their alliance with commonly marginalized groups.

4/21- Ramapo Pride Hike- join us at 1 pm at the Arch for a hike to the Ramapo Reservation!
4/27- Diversity Dance! Mark your calendars!!! :)
