“Dig Pink” with the Women’s Volleyball Team!
On Friday at 7pm, join the Women’s Volleyball team in Bender Arena to cheer them to victory against Army! Since AU and Army are tied for first place, it is crucial to come out to this tough game. We are raising awareness about breast cancer, so wear pink instead of blue! There will be lots of free giveaways from Women’s Initiative, and admission is FREE for students with their AUID. If your parents are visiting, get them to join you in screaming your hearts out in support of one of AU’s most successful sports teams. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for kids and seniors, and free for AU students! See you Friday!

Women’s Initiative
Women's Initiative is a non-partisan, inclusive department of the Student Government that helps coordinate and advise campus departments and committees on programming and policy decisions that affect the women students, faculty, and staff of American University. Women's Initiative focuses on making AU a safer, more equitable, and more empowering place for women through AU traditions like the Breastival, AIDS Walk Washington, World AIDS Day, the Vagina Monologues, Women's History Month, and Take Back the Night. Not only do we plan some of AU's most popular annual events, but we also work on policy issues like pushing the administration to create a Women's Resource Center, collaborate with the Student Health Center, and working with Public Safety to keep campus safe for everyone.
