Location: Undergraduate Science Building
Organized By: Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program

We offer a goal-oriented workshop to help you plan and (re)align your focus for weekly success. In these workshops, we will guide you through a goal-creation process, use crowdsourcing to find resources and potential pitfalls, and provide you with a goal coach for the week.

After completing the workshop, you will have the opportunity to receive 3 additional weeks of personalized support on a specific 30-day goal.

Weekly Communication and Support:
You will be assigned a goals coach, who will support and guide you through your 30-day goal.

Our coaches will:
-Work with you to define or redefine your goal
-Provide strategies to help you achieve it!
-Connect with you once a week via Zoom, telephone, or email to answer your questions, provide support, and highlight wins.
-Facilitate a safe space to develop a network of peers for shared support

At WISE we know that the different dimensions of wellness are something that we should focus on every day not only in times of stress. We have created the Wellness Everyday Series to aid the WISE community’s exposure to different aspects of their wellness and develop a practice of wellness every day. When you are well it helps the community to become well.

Apply to be the next Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist! (March 15, 2023 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/104675 104675-21809807@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

For more info and to apply: https://www.cew.umich.edu/advocacy-initiatives/twink-frey-visiting-social-activist-program

Each year the Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA) Program brings to CEW+ a social justice activist whose work affects women and recognizes gender equity issues. One goal of the program is to build the capacity and effectiveness of social activists by giving the TFVSA time, space, and support to work on a project that would not be possible under the activist’s usual working circumstances.

The TFVSA program gives the selected TFVSA time for reflection, research, planning, and writing related to their area of activism. Each TFVSA is required to work on a project that will advance their future work and potentially benefit other activists.

If selected, the applicant is invited to reside near campus for up to one month or make intermittent visits to Ann Arbor and work remotely. The 2024 residency will take place during the winter semester with a presentation of their project the following fall semester at the CEW+ Annual Advocacy Symposium. The activist receives a $10,000 stipend to cover their expenses while in Ann Arbor. Travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor are separately reimbursed by the endowment fund.

ELIGIBILITY

The TFVSA program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls. The program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing, employment, income support, food security, education, violence, child care, health care, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income.
