By: Bisola (Bisy)
Happy Women’s History Month, Sheridan!
As we move on into this month, it's important for us to celebrate all the amazing things women have contributed to our society. Throughout history, women have poured their hearts into everything they do and have proven, despite others' opinions, to be just as impactful and important to our reality as anyone else! So if you identify as a woman, pat yourself on the back, and remember that you are capable, because history tells us so!
As you move on into the school year, it’s important to remember you can make history, right where you stand! Luckily, at Sheridan, that’s even more possible through our SSU clubs. There are so many opportunities for you to meet amazing people just like yourselves and be a part of something much bigger.
So here are our 5 wonderful, all-women clubs at the Sheridan Student Union!
