Wake the Field (Hockey)! Wake for Women 10.15.2021

Last Friday, the Women’s Center hosted our second Wake For Women tailgate of the Fall 2021 semester before the Women’s Field Hockey game against UNC. With an attendance of over 100 students, families and local teams, this was our most impressive turnout thus far! Wake for Women is a Women’s Center and Student Athletes Development initiative that promotes gender equity by raising awareness and support for our women athletes at Wake. Attendees socialized outside the tailgate tent and enjoyed our free pizza, beverages, lawn games and Women’s Center swag! We asked a student what they like most about Wake For Women tailgates:

“The fact that we were able to bring so many people out. We had such a good turnout…it was nice to see.”

Come fill the stands and support women’s sports at Wake on Friday, November 12, 2021 for the Women’s Volleyball game against UVA. Be sure to drop by the Wake For Women tailgate before the game, get there early because food runs out fast!
