Awards and inspirational speakers set for Women s History Month
Mariah Parker, Charlotte Arsenault and Mariela Romero will be speaking at UNG s Women s History Month Celebration at noon March 23.
Women s History Month will offer the University of North Georgia (UNG) community the chance to honor female student leaders and hear a trio of successful women share their personal stories. Registration for all events is available through UNG Connect. We want to celebrate UNG s female leaders, said Wade Manora Jr., interim director of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA). A lot of times women s contributions can be overlooked. We want to let our female student leaders know they re doing a good job.
Vice President for Student Affairs Julie Payne-Kirchmeier spoke about the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center relocation and the University’s intended implementation at Wednesday’s Associated Student Government Senate.
Legislation passed at last week’s Senate calls for the center to be relocated to a designated house on Sheridan Rd. near other Multicultural Student Affairs affinity spaces like the Black House.
The relocation of the GSRC aims to expand upon previous initiatives to support the LGBTQ community. The administration has been shifting its approach in addressing the needs of marginalized students on campus. The LGBT Resource Center at Norris University Center opened in 2004 and gender-open restrooms at Norris were added in 2015.
