To celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, student Jimmy whipped up a batch of beautiful cupcakes for her fellow students. She decorated the cakes with a yellow icing to represent the Mimosa flower, a symbol of appreciation and solidarity for IWD. Jimmy gifted her bakes to a workshop being held in Stephens Hall, hosted by RSO Bek.

Students Lizzie, Amy, Mills, and Emma gathered to enjoy the treats while diving into some meaningful dialogue. They discussed:

– why IWD is celebrated.
– who they admired and why.
– what challenges women face today.
– what being a woman means.
