Celebrating Women's History Month, the Women's Resource Center at Sacramento State hosted the first "Women Who Bloomed" event in collaboration with the Cultural Academic Resource Centers. Held in the University Union on March 10, the event featured tables from other CARC programs, each choosing a distinct flower for community members to select and build bouquets around.
Community members were greeted at the door and walked around the room, learning about each program, the resources they provide and the significance of the program's selected flower. After choosing their flowers, students convened at tables in the middle of the room where they used shears and ribbons to construct bouquets honoring their own growth or a loved one.
The flowers, which ranged from roses to carnations, were chosen by each resource center depending on how the flowers traits related to them. Some, like the Multicultural Center, chose flowers like eucalyptus as it represents global connection, resilience and beauty. Others, like the Dreamer Resource Center, chose the white lily due to it embodying resilience or migration.
Clarice Serrano, a senior marketing major, said she saw a flyer for "Women Who Bloomed" online and found it inspiring to attend an event celebrating Women's History Month. Serrano said it was insightful to learn about many of the resources available through CARC and that she attended the event to recognize her growth throughout her college career.
