So a few weeks ago I was able to go to the PEEPS meeting and bring some of my friends (who often get to listen to me rant as I go on about whatever we talked about in class). It was a really fun event where I got to see the direction the Women and Gender Studies program wanted to take the club as well as the activities it wanted to hold. If you guys read Emily's blog you'll know that PEEPS stands for People for Education, Equality, and Promoting Scholarship and that we got to meet some great people and eat pizza when we went!
At the meeting I got to know some more teachers as well as other students (got to meet Johnathan!) at the event and I was really impressed by the opinions and views of everyone. When we started talking about the program and the variety of classes the Women and Gender's Studies program offers I was really interested in pursuing a minor, but alas because of the type of Chemistry classes I have to take they prevent me from taking enough classes to get a minor but I'm sure I'll be taking another class from the program!
I wasn't able to go to their Coffee with Cool Women event this past week but PEEPS seems like it's going to be a really fun and interesting organization to be a part of so hopefully the next event will workout better!
