HOT: March WAMmy
At a school where women are a noticeable minority, Women’s Awareness Month is a refreshing opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements while also bringing to light the challenges they face. From Take Back the Night to the Vagina Monologues, this month’s events offer a fun opportunity to bring together the campus community for a good cause.
NOT: No snow day
