In a society that has recently turned the clock back 50 plus years with its newest elected President, it’s important that women take a stand against gender norms. Luckily, Loyola University Chicago has a club on campus that encourages women to do just that. The Women’s Project is an activist and academic club that fights to redefine society’s views of what it means to be a woman in 2016. Run Your World recently had the opportunity to sit down with scholar member and senior Lauren Groberski.

So happy to see women inspiring other women! So awesome.
We have a club similar to this at Purdue! I love everything it stands for and I feel like we make real change on campus
I wish we had something like this on our campus! Although I feel like sororities sometimes have very similar values which is good
I know! We were very excited to find a club on campus with such a great message. Feel free to follow us on twitter, @RunYourWorldLUC to continue the conversation about breaking down gender stereotypes!
So happy to know that there are other clubs like this one at other Universities! What types of things do you do in the club?
This is so true! Sororities often have great messages and really promote female empowerment. Feel free to share with us what you’ve done on your campus to encourage other women.
We recently worked with a local shelter and did a 5K’ it was really fun!
You go Lauren! If we keep communicating about these issues someday they will be solved.
Awesome! Love this blog!
Great read! Love learning about such strong college women!
Love that you guys have something like this on campus! So important!

I love that this exists on campus! So empowering for women in so many ways, which is much needed on a college campus where women are facing so many hardships.
