On August 30, 2024, AAUW San Fernando Valley Branch members met with Cal State University Northridge (CSUN) faculty and students to celebrate the gifting of a beautiful Suffragist quilt, created by a branch member who is a master quilter, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment. The quilt was raffled off in March 2020 and won by a member of the San Fernando Valley Branch who donated it to the Cal State University Northridge Women’s Research & Resource Center. It took four years, a pandemic intervening, for the branch to finally celebrate the gifting of the quilt.
The meeting included both CSUN C/U representatives as well as the 2024 National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) recipient who regaled the group with her experiences and takeaways from the conference. If ever a program hit its mark, this year’s recipient was certainly proof of that. AAUW San Fernando Valley expects great things from her in the future!
