Women at UP may choose from two different opportunities to explore their identifies and relationships as women.
Through the Sisterhood of Heartfelt Empowerment (SHE), all-female small groups of 8-10 students meet weekly and 2 female mentors meet with the group on a monthly basis. Mentors offer support to participants in accordance with three main values: feeling empowered, living authentic lives, and finding space to explore and integrate information about their identities.
Small groups form at the beginning of the year and require a year-long commitment. Sign-up opportunities are also available mid-year for students joining UP or returning from study abroad.
SHE is possible through a collaboration of the Health and Counseling Center and Campus Ministry and involves many additional collaborators across campus. To receive more information and find out whether SHE might be a good fit for you, please contact:
Rise with delight was started by a group of students in 2016. This group utilizes materials from a national women's faith-sharing program called delight. For more information, please contact Beth Barsotti at barsotti@up.edu.
