It's a new group and in August [of 2005] is when they were officially recognized as a student organization. |
The conversations (then) focused on what's particular to the lives of those women. In a sexuality program, I found that the students at BBC seemed to be more open about the discussion. They seemed more comfortable and confident. It didn't seem as taboo to them. |
The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the activist group associated directly with the Women's Center. |
The things that have been really successful at BBC are the things that seem to relate better to the students there. |
We've done programs concerning body image, sexuality and relationships. The topics are meant to be cutting edge of what college students are facing today and when we are talking about those things it [makes] it not so taboo and so that people feel more comfortable talking about it and expressing themselves. |
