Tomorrow from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. an event will be held in UConn’s Student Union Ballroom.
The event is free and open to any student interested in stopping in. Attendees can go to the event at any point and can stay for however long they’d like.
The event’s theme is #InspireInclusion, an initiative to promote gender equality around the world.
“Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion,” the event webpage says.
The event will also celebrate the achievements of women and raise awareness about the patriarchal nature of society.
There will be speakers, performances and free snacks throughout the day. The event will also be handing out flowers to everyone who stops in.
After spring break, there will be several other events that the Women’s Center will be hosting.
