The Supreme Court is considering a case which challenges Mississippi's ban on abortion after 15 weeks. If the court rules in favour of Mississippi, it will effectively end the constitutional right to an abortion, and make abortion rights a decision for individual states once again. A draft opinion from Judge Samuel Alito – has been leaked, and states that the Roe v Wade judgement is "egregiously wrong". If the Supreme Court strikes down this 1973 ruling, then abortion could be banned in almost half of US states.
Here is some additional information about Roe v. Wade and ways that you can help support reproductive rights.
Senior Spotlight 😊
As the school year comes to an end, we would like to highlight our seniors!
Julia Caravello: Up first we have Julia Caravello! She is our student communications manager, and she is from Philadelphia, PA. Amongst Julia’s greatest achievements was the growth of the Women’s Center’s social media presence. Apart from graduating from the business school she is in Delta Zeta sorority and Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity! Julia’s kind heart will be missed from our team, but we hope that her new journey to New York City brings her nothing but happiness and success!

In her role in the Women’s Center, Bea planned and facilitated various programs and conversations centering the experiences of women of color.
