Waynesburg GO Girl event aims to empower women
Waynesburg University will host its annual WU GO Girl event Tuesday at the university’s Stover Campus Center.
The event from 7 to 8:30 p.m. is free and open to community members of Greene County, in addition to high school juniors and seniors.
“WU Go Girl provides a unique opportunity to focus on mentoring and empowering women in Greene County,” said Sarah Bell, executive assistant to the provost. “This event is aimed at educating women and further developing relationships between the university and the greater Waynesburg community.”
The event is being expanded to the community for the first time, thanks to a $500 grant from the Community Foundation of Greene County on behalf of the Bradford/Forever Greene Fund.
As a result of the expanded event, the university’s Residence Life staff is working in conjunction with the Office of Academic Affairs and Domestic Violence Services of Greene County.
“Waynesburg University’s Residence Life Program is excited for the prospect of reaching more young women in our community with the positive message that we are worth so much more than we sometimes believe,” resident director Jacqueline Thorn said.
The event will include three parts: mentoring tables where participants will engage in a get-to-know-you session, a roundtable discussion on topics related to issues women face and empowerment stations that will focus on positivity.
