Sisterhood Dinner

Cross Cultural Skills - Engagement Event

On Monday, February 29, 2016, from 6pm -8:30pm I attended the 35th annual Sisterhood Dinner. This event was put on by the Council on the Status of Women at NC State and was held in Talley ballroom. I was offered to join the table of students (and administrator) representing Exploratory Studies. It was nice to talk to all of these students who have different majors, especially to see their differing perspectives on the topics presented at the event. The evening began with a silent auction and refreshments, followed by a delicious dinner, and concluded with a panel of four women speaking about how they have been empowered throughout their lives. The slogan for the event was LEAP which stood for Lead, Empower, Act, and Prevail. Each panelist spoke about each of the four categories and how they made an impact in their lives. I was able to get involved in the event by talking to my peers about how women can be successful in each of these categories. This event really motivated me to be better. Listening to other women speak about their experiences and how they have been successful made me want to better myself and get involved with more things on and off campus. It gave me the motivation to want to be an inspiration for other women just like these panelists were for me. Hopefully I can empower more women to "LEAP" in their everyday lives!
