Global Awareness Program

The Global Awareness Program for She's the First was started in the fall of 2013 by Christen Brandt and Vivian Nunez. 

About once a month, chapter representatives from chapters all across the country discuss (via Google Hangout or Chat) a chosen topic picked by Christen and Vivian. The chapter representatives are to present what they learned from the discussions back to their chapters. 

Here are the Global Awareness PowerPoints from She's the First University of Wisconsin-Madison:
