AAUW Empower Her
Seven Keys to Women’s Empowerment
A warm thank you to our presenter, Dr. Patricia Morris, President, Equilo Foundation. Around the world and here in the US, women have fewer opportunities than men and the global gender gap has decades to go before it is closed.
Yet studies show that when women are empowered, households, communities, and nations thrive; economies grow, health and educational outcomes improve, poverty is reduced, and peace and security are sustained.

The Art of Saying No: Prioritizing Self-Care for Women in Academia
Many thanks to Dr. Christi Navarro, Assistant Professor Of Public Health for her engaging presentation on The Art of Saying No: Prioritizing Self-Care for Women in Academia. In the dynamic realm of academia, women often navigate demanding roles, balancing the expectations of their academic pursuits, professional responsibilities, and personal lives. This workshop is designed to help us embrace self-care and enhanced well-being as we navigate our role with purpose and balance.

Empower Her: Understanding Menstruation for Pre-Teen Girls
NSU’s PERIOD Club speakers offered a workshop for pre-teen girls. The workshop provided age-appropriate practical knowledge to increase understanding and confidence concerning menstruation from a ‘big sister’ perspective. Although the pre-teen girls expressed hesitation before the start of the workshop, our NSU students quickly established a rapport with their ‘little sisters’ who eagerly asked questions and took notes in their provided mini NSU portfolios. As the girls left the workshop, we could overhear them saying they wanted to come again for another workshop. It was a very successful event. At NSU AAUW, we believe that knowledge is empowering.
Our thanks to PERIOD Club E-board members Tulsi Desai, Sanjana Sivaiah, Shweta Shah, Gaby Andrews, Ishika Patel, and Yachi Patel for sharing their knowledge and big sister love.

On Thursday November 9, the Department of Humanities and Politics hosted a showing of Hidden Figures as part of its The Reel film series. The event was co-sponsored by AAUW, the Math Club, and the NAACP club. Around twenty students watched the film together and stayed for a discussion led by Dr. Katy Doll, a history professor. Hidden Figures is a 2017 film based on the best-selling history book of the same name. It depicts the impact of three female African American mathematicians whose contributions made the Apollo mission possible and brought NASA into the computer age.
