Femme Space

Femme Space, including Femme Game Night, Femme Beat-making Night, and Femme Making Night, opens up traditionally male-dominated or male-centric activities and spaces to women and those who identify as femme or nonbinary and their allies. All are welcome to participate. The series includes gaming sessions, technology and media/music creation/demos, and a variety of making opportunities, all in a fun and welcoming atmosphere of sharing and community building.

Global Film Series

The Global Film Series at NC State University is a collaborative initiative to bring a variety of international and globally-focused films to campus. Interdisciplinary partners across campus select films from current releases, documentaries and classics highlighting the joys and struggles of the global community in which we live. These films also provide a venue for faculty and student organizations to share their global experiences and expertise with a wider campus and community audience. All films feature an academic introduction and an opportunity for reflection at the film's conclusion.

Making Space

Making Space aims to highlight pathways to success in the STEM fields by presenting the experiences and perspectives of underrepresented groups in science and technology, including people of all identities and abilities. Through a series of public talks and workshops, this program seeks to inspire all members of the NC State community to explore a variety of disciplines and emerging tools, develop new skills, and be creative with technology.  All events are free and open to the public.

Making Space is a series that began in 2015 to highlight the work and scholarship of women in STEM.
