The Women's Center and VT Engage: The Center for Leadership and Service Learning, are hosting two events via Zoom next Tuesday, September 22nd for National Voter Registration Day.

A teach-in focused on a historical and contemporary view of women’s suffrage in the U.S. Panelists will discuss how grassroots organizing and women of color helped shape the movement as well as highlighting the barriers that marginalized communities face when casting their vote. 

Panelists include VT faculty and members from the NAACP and League of Women Voters.

Immediately following the teach-in, a separate session will be held to answer questions from the Hokie community about how/where to register to vote, about early voting, or updating their registration. 

Gen(der) Ed is a bi-weekly podcast hosting conversations that explore the intersection of gender and other identities, and cover topics for our students, faculty, and staff members on leadership, equity, wellbeing, and healthy relationships.

Listen on your favorite podcast streaming platform. 

(Dis)course is an ongoing dialogue to discuss relevant issues of gender in society, while bringing to the forefront the work and teachings of VT faculty members. By engaging with both traditional “texts", as well as contemporary text, such as TV, new media, etc., we are creating a modern day book club that fosters community, is intentionally intersectional, and contributes to and engages with gendered issues.

Sign up for discussions on our website.

Caregiver check-ins are an opportunity for VT employees who are caregivers to connect with one another around managing the demands of working and caregiving during these times of COVID-19 disruption.
