See You Next Semester, Ramapo!

This has been a very busy and fun semester, for the Women's Center and the blog but sadly all good things must come to an end. As you've probably already noticed blog posting is over for the semester, but we will resume posting in the last week of Januray!

In the meantime, please feel free to stop in today or tomorrow to check out our Finals Week Relaxation Time! In order to help us all unwind during this very stressful time the Women's Center has been providing holiday music, a projection of the Yule Log (complete with crackling fire sound effects!), awesome decorations (including our plastic instructional penises decked out in Christmas hats, as pictured below), cookies, delicious Cocoa, coffee, tea, and free warming condoms! Some come by before 5pm Friday 12/17 (when the fun, unfortunately, must end) to enjoy some WC Holiday Cheer!

Good luck with finals Ramapo, see you next semester!
