Monday of this week began with a midterm evaluation meeting with my supervisor.

We

discussed the areas I have excelled in and the areas I need to work on. She rated me as average

which I would say is fair. I have some trouble making suggestions and sharing my ideas here

because everyone is so smart and already such good friends. I told her I would work on speaking

up. We both agreed that I have done a great job of helping my groups with any tasks necessary to

get a project completed. Shortly after this, we had our weekly staff meeting. The meeting was

decently short, as not too many changes had been made since the previous week. We discussed a

few upcoming events, as well as the trivia event that our community group put on last week for

Women’s History Month. After the meeting we had an employee lunch at the MAX. This was a

wonderful opportunity to talk to some coworkers that I had yet to get to know. Additionally, I

had not had the MAX since my freshman year, so this was exciting! After lunch, I met with my

wellness groups. We decided to combine the two events that we discussed last week, the sip and

paint and the study session. We had to combine them because there are so many other events

going on during March between our center and others. Also, spring break has made it difficult to

plan events. We also finalized our Instagram post idea and submitted it to our supervisor. This

week, I am working on a draft email for those who nominate someone and those who are

nominated.

On Tuesday, I had my weekly intern meeting. I worked on speaking up more during the

discussion and participated a few times. The conversation was about feminist leadership. We

discussed what it means to be a feminist leader and how it is different from just a regular leader.

We also shared what we think the center could do better to be more like feminist leaders. All the

new interns agreed that many people on campus do not know about the women’s center and that

we need to market ourselves to other groups more often, like sororities and fraternities. We also
agreed that coming here is very intimidating but if we were to do a little better marketing, we

think people would feel more comfortable coming here. Overall, it was a very productive

meeting. After the meeting, I worked on some last touches for our She Speaks event that

happened the next day. I wrote a brief introduction paragraph for each speaker, summarizing

their background and the topic they are speaking on.

On Wednesday, I worked on creating a sign-in sheet for She Speaks. The rest of the day

was slow until about 4. Meg and I brought an extra folding table over to the A&S auditorium and

some bottled water for the speakers. I helped Melissa set up her laptop to record the event as a

Zoom meeting. In addition, I also recorded everyone’s speech as a voice memo on my phone just

in case something went wrong with the Zoom recording. I was responsible for taking notes on

each speaker, which I will attach to my journal submission this week. Everyone’s speeches were

amazing and applied to all distinct aspects of being a woman. My personal favorite was Ms.

Ashley Copeland’s about the importance of playing as an adult. She included a fun activity that

got everyone in the crowd to stand up and act like their favorite animal. Adults often forget how

much fun playing can be because of our busy schedules, but it is something I am going to try to

incorporate into my life more often. After the event, we all headed over to the library for a

reception. Overall, I really enjoyed this event. Womanhood is something I am extremely

passionate about and it made me happy to hear about these women’s passions. I do wish that

there was more of a turnout because I think everyone could have benefitted from the event.

Thursday and Friday were slow days. On Thursday, I worked on some more job

applications and began looking for a place to live during the summer. On Friday, I continued my

search and ended the week by hanging out with some other co-workers before I left.
