Journal Week 6
my supervisor Melissa gave out a Valentine’s Day treat, and we all shared what our favorite
candy was. I like the fact that we do a question of the week each week because it has allowed me
to get to know the other employees better. Following this, we had a group review of how to use
Trello to plan events. This is a website we use to complete checklists for events hosted by the
Women’s Center. It includes minute details that sometimes may be forgotten like the budget,
food, who will be working, and marketing. After we reviewed how to correctly complete a
checklist, we discussed the progress of each group throughout the week and some upcoming
events we have for Black History Month. After the staff meeting, I had a meeting with my
wellness group in which we re-addressed our checklist on Trello, an event that we have coming
up. We are working on a discussion and panel for Black and queer folks that will take place on
Monday 2/20. We also finalized a tabling event that happened on Wednesday of this week.
On Tuesday of this week, we had our weekly intern meeting. This week we discussed

heart-shaped stress balls that had motivational quotes on them. Unfortunately, we had some
issues with the printer at the center, so one of my coworkers had to go to another office to print
in color. In the meantime, Meg and I went to set up the table. Throughout the day I got to meet
and interact with many new people who were interested in Black history and health. I gave out a
bunch of pins, almost all of the stress balls, and all the pamphlets we printed out. I enjoyed being
out of the office on this day and getting the chance to interact with other students on campus.
On Thursday, I did not have any meetings or assignments, so I just did some cleaning
around the office, along with working on some personal assignments. On Friday, I had a meeting
with my SheSpeaks group. We did not have much to discuss this week because we are still just
waiting for confirmation from the possible speakers. In addition, I spent an hour filling up the
menstruation stations in the Arts and Sciences building and the library. We were assigned to a lot
of locations this week and we were finally able to refill the top floor of Centennial, just in time
