Her Campus at West Chester

Happy first day of (virtual) classes! We are excited to start the semester once we are back in person!! #wcupa #hercampus #hcwestchester #springsemester2022

We are sorry to announce that our meeting scheduled for tonight has been cancelled! We will see everyone at our next meeting! Take the time we would be in a meeting tonight to have some self care time or get ahead on work as we prepare for break!

Happy Sunday Everyone! Today’s Cultural Sunday pick is ‘Il n’est jamais trop tard,’ by Cameroonian artist Pierre Tchana. Translating to ‘It is never too late,’ the song assures us that while we have life, dreams and aspirations are always valid; and reminds us to forge onwards. As the end of the semester approaches, Tchana’s words encourages gratitude and perseverance for the coming weeks. As always, let’s open our minds and hearts to our beautiful, brilliant world!

Happy Sunday Everyone! Sundays are now Cultural Sundays. Let’s expand our minds and heart by listening, reading, being aware of the big, beautiful world we inhabit. In the last decade, Afrobeats has gained much popularity for it’s fusion of West African music style with American jazz, soul, and punk influence. Today’s pick ‘Woman’ by artist and composer Simi. Sampling the song ‘Water’ from Fela Kuti, the pioneer of Afrobeats, Simi channels Kuti’s rebellious authenticity as she reimagines the song to serve as an ode to women’s resilience and unwavering glory.

For Black History Month, Her Campus will be highlighting historical figures throughout the month and the contributions they have given society. Let us celebrate today, and every day, the heroes that made this world a better world to live in. 1️⃣ "Height has been called the matriarch of the civil rights movement and often worked outside of the public eye. After receiving two degrees from New York University in the 1930s, Height worked for the New York City Welfare Department and then became the assistant executive director of the Harlem Y.M.C.A. She was involved in anti-lynching protests, brought public attention to the exploitation of African-American women working in "slave markets," and escorted First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the National Council of Negro Women, a council she served on for more than 40 years. In the 1950s, she lobbied President Dwight D. Eisenhower to take an aggressive stance on school desegregation issues. Height also worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and she stood on the platform with as he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in August 1963."

For Black History Month, Her Campus will be highlighting historical figures throughout the month and the contributions they have given society. Let us celebrate today, and every day, the heroes that made this world a better world to live in. 1️⃣ “The most highly regarded, influential, and widely read poets of 20th-century American poetry,” This Pulitzer Prize-winning poet–she is the first Black woman to earn this distinction–deserves a shoutout. Born in Topeka, Kansas in 1917, Brooks moved to Chicago at 5 weeks old and began writing through the encouragement of her mother. After winning her Pulitzer in 1950, she went on to serve as a poetry consultant for the Library of Congress and the poet laureate of the United States. Her work examined the ordinary lives of Black people, often reflecting her political consciousness and the ongoing struggle for civil rights." (Marie Claire, 2021) 2️⃣ "Chisholm was a pioneer for African-American women holding major roles in the government. Chisholm first served as an educational consultant for New York City's bureau of child welfare and ran for New York State Assembly in 1964. In 1968, Chisholm was elected as the first African-American Congresswoman, and later became one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Chisholm made history once again in 1972 when she became the first African-American woman of a major political party to run for the Democratic party nomination."
