The purpose of The Collective is to create a space for women of color at NC State to form a community, break silos and deepen relationships through facilitated dialogue centered on truth-telling and testimonials. The Collective welcomes cisgender and transgender women as well as femmes and gender-nonconforming folk. The Women's Center and Prevention Services will host our hybrid women of color space. We intend to provide a place for women of color who are students and campus-based professionals to come together for community connection.
