The Women’s Center is a Safe Space for all!

By: Anabelle Obermaier

 I’ve been a work study student here at the Women’s Center since October. Working here this past semester has been a new experience that I’ve appreciated very much. I love how the Women’s Center is a safe space where anyone can come to study, grab a coffee, or even just hang out with friends! Overall I love the vibe and comfy-ness of the space. I’ve learned how to work together on projects, post on social media in a professional manner, how to work and office, and how to work and table events. One of my favorite events we do is one of our healing art projects called “Shrink Your Stress”. This is where we use shrinky dinks in a fun and artsy way to bring awareness to different feminist issues.

I am excited for what is to come next semester since I will continue to work here in the spring. I’m excited to  learn even more, gain more experience, and work with new interns/work study students in the future. My advice for future Interns/work study is to be open to learning new things, ask lots of questions, and be ready for such a warm and welcoming working environment!
