Building feminist partnerships across Minnesota campuses
What is College Feminists Connect?
College Feminists Connect is an intern and student led program of the
Minnesota Women’s Consortium that seeks to connect women’s resource centers,
campus feminist groups, and individual college feminists across the state of
Minnesota. It is a student-led, web-based space for discussion centered on women’s
issues and provides participants with an opportunity to talk with one another
about their organizations, successes and challenges, and shared experiences. In
