Small black buttons, reading: \u201cThe Future is Female,\u201d circulated through campus during March, Women\u2019s History Month. The buttons were being sold by FAWLS (Florida Association for Women Lawyers at Stetson) to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Fund Alliance, in conjunction with Women\u2019s Week.<\/p>\n

FAWLS founded Women\u2019s Week at Stetson last year with four events centered on topics of concern to women. This year, FAWLS added a fifth event: The Superhero 1K. FAWLS collaborated with other school organizations such as NOW (National Organization of Women), LELA (Labor and Employment Law Association), Phi Delta Phi, and Public Service Fellows, as well as, community organizations including HAWL (Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers), PFAWL (Pinellas County Chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers), and Women Lawyers of Pasco.<\/p>\n

Women’s Week kicked off with a Superhero 1K. Pictured is first-year student Rebecca Klonel. Photo courtesy Kate Konecny.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cIt’s important to us as an organization\u00a0to raise money for women’s issues and women’s\u00a0organizations,\u201d said Kate Konecny, student and FAWLS president. \u201cI think it’s important for students to get involved with the community and advocating for issues that are important to them. Women’s Week is a whole week that we can reflect on these issues, and decide what we\u2019re going to do about them. Whether it\u2019s through advocacy, or having tools to face discrimination day to day, it\u2019s a way to get conversation started.\u201d<\/p>\n

The week began with the Superhero 1k fun run on Sunday, March 25. Local sponsors donated prizes for best Superhero costumes and the participants who won the race. The event raised $250 for the Ovarian Cancer Fund Alliance. On Monday, March 26, a panel consisting of Stetson Professor Stacey-Rae Simcox, Attorney Erica Bartimmo, Attorney Bobbi-Sue Doyle Hazard, and Attorney Brittany Maxey-Fisher empowered students by inspiring them to be confident and giving advice on workplace scenarios at the event \u201cWhat to Do When?\u201d. On Tuesday, March 27, a performance of \u201cThe Vagina Monologues\u201d was held in the Great Hall. A supply drive and pro-bono event to support CASA took place on Wednesday, March 28. Finally, on Thursday, March 29, FAWLS hosted a networking and impression management event with local attorneys, featuring a speech by Dr. Kirsten Davis, a Stetson Law professor.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, our most successful event was the Superhero\u00a01K,\u201d Konecny said. \u201cIt was a fun weekend event that had great student turn out and also raised money for a great cause.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
