Education is key to women breaking free from poverty. We know education raises women into well-paying jobs, but many have no model for higher education nor how to forge a career trajectory beyond their post-graduate years. As women increasingly attend and outnumber their male counterparts in post-secondary education, it becomes crucial to provide information and support to this growing student population. This event hopes to demystify and support the possibility of graduate school for current EMU undergraduate students and women in the surrounding community. It will also try to help answer the confusing question current female graduate students might ask themselves: “What's next?”

- I'm a woman and I masturbate...am I normal?
- Do I have to shave my vagina? I like the way it looks already!
- AND MORE!
