Get In Formation

The Association for Women Students held the Formation Forum on March 8, that encouraged and informed female students on how to how prepare for the road ahead.
The night consisted of multiple speakers, all giving information on what will help young women progress as well as tips on hair and makeup tutorials and how to maintain good credit. Each of the three speakers shared parts of their personal lives with the audience, and let them know what they did wrong along their journey.
Owner of Rich Connections, Brittany Harris mentioned that she thought the event was essential.
“Overall no matter what you want to do or where you want to go, it’s all about what you believe.”
When asked what she had learned, sophomore political science major, Jasmine Singleton, of Houma, Louisiana replied saying, “I learned how to properly finance myself. Coming to this event really enlightened me on how to be a successful black woman in society, and better myself as a whole.”
Freshman business marketing major, Janeah Traylor, of Oakland, California mentioned that she has truly learned more about credit.
“I plan on taking out a credit card soon, so it was good to learn a bit about the process.” Coming to these types of events always help more than they hurt, and leave students better off than when they first stepped through the door,” finished Traylor.
