As we begin our final 6 months as your Co-Presidents, we are both thankful for your participation in our Club especially in our events! The SLO Country Club’s festive decorations for our Holiday Party set the tone for our evening and was coordinated with Cal Poly alum Brooke Campbell!

Annie is a Political Science major. Annie stated that it was an honor to be a recipient of the Cal Poly Women’s Club scholarship. This will give her more time to focus on her studies, women’s rights and student activities. She is active in the Cal Poly’s Young Democrats, a strong supporter of women’s rights and Planned Parenthood. One future goal is to serve as an Intern in Washington D.C. Needless to say, this has been a very busy year for political activities and women’s issues; Annie is very active in both. She thanks the Cal Poly Women’s Club for granting her this scholarship.

Using the Gallup Strength Finders assessment, participants will learn how to use and develop their strengths for results that may have seemed impossible to attain. Our trainer Sasha Mobley, a certified Gallup and Life Coach, will discuss how we limit ourselves to second rate experiences because we buy into someone else’s success model.
