Sixteen women will be speaking at the fourth annual Curate Women’s Summit this Saturday.  Students will be able to hear from faculty, staff, and leaders in the community on various aspects of the beautiful life.

“I love the Curate summit because it provides a special day for the women of campus to spend time together and learn from the amazing group of mentors who speak,” sophomore Katherine Vander Wall said.

The women who speak at Curate have been through similar phases of life as Hillsdale students, said junior Shannon Spahr. Curate gives them the opportunity and the wisdom to pour into students and help guide them through their time at Hillsdale.
“Taking a Saturday away from homework gives women a needed break and reminds us that there are other important things in the world besides school,” Spahr said.

In addition to providing students a break from school, Assistant Director of Student Activities Reagan Linde said the summit better equips students to face the world post-grad.

“The Summit itself is intended to bring together the women of Hillsdale for a time of community, fellowship, and growth,” Linde said.
This year there will be breakout sessions on everything from mental health to planning for the future.

“We are anticipating around 300 students this year and could not be more excited for the best day of the year,” Linde said.

Women interested in attending can register online on the Curate Hillsdale website.

“Bring a friend, enjoy the crafts, and soak up as much wisdom as you can,” Spahr said.
