Connecting Womxn of Color Dinner

The Connecting Womxn of Color Dinner will be held on Tuesday, 29 October 2024 at 5:30 p.m. at the Queally Center. This year’s theme is Together We Rise: An Evening of Celebration and Solidarity

Connecting Womxn of Color cultivates an outlet on campus that centers both intellectual and personal development in which women and gender-expansive individuals of color and their allies can have meaningful dialogues around issues important to them. After the networking social hour, we will help ourselves to a wonderful buffet and join a table for dinner. Each table will feature a faculty or staff host, who will help guide and support our conversations. As we actively work on this campus to create and sustain communities in which everyone belongs – and feels that they belong – on this night we mindfully come together to talk about topics that matter to us, finding ways to uplift each other and celebrate ourselves.

The term "womxn of color" is intended to transcend and embrace shades of color and to welcome and unite those of us who identify as women and gender expansive people of Arab/Middle-Eastern, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African American/Caribbean/West Indies, Hispanic/Latinx, and Native/Indigenous descent.
