Crowned Rubies
Empowering All Women of Color
Program Description
The Crowned Rubies program is designed to provide support and access to resources for students, who identify as women of color. We create a safe space, where students discuss the journey of being a women of color and the obstacles and achievements they encounter during their undergraduate journey. We achieve this through various meetings, events, workshops and trips to engage students and offer new experiences. These gatherings are designed for our Rubies to get to know one another, bond, challenge themselves and to develop a support system with one another.
I gained a connection to other girls on campus that want to empower each other for the better of our community.
Goals of the Program
The ultimate goal of the program is to improve the success of women of color at Fredonia. In order to achieve this goal, we attempt the following:
- Foster a sense of belonging
- Create an environment that not only provides support for the women but educate them on how to support one another.
- Provide an outlet to explore themselves, their needs and develop the skills to be successful academical, professionally and socially
