ALTOONA, Pa. — Penn State Altoona will hold a Military Women’s Panel from 12:15 to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 27, in the Fireside Lounge of the Slep Student Center.
Chief Warrant Officer (CW2) Amanda Strandburg and Army veteran Elizabeth Cooper will speak about their time in the military and the unique challenges they face as women in the armed forces. A Q&A session will immediately follow.
This event provides a safe space to listen, learn, and engage in dialogue about the realities of military life from the perspective of women who have lived it, the obstacles they have faced because of it, and how they have persevered to be the community leaders they are today.
Sensitive topics will be discussed. Counselors from the Health and Wellness Center will be on hand. Light refreshments will be available.
The event is sponsored by Penn State Altoona’s Student Veteran Organization and the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
