Womyn’s Commission, UCSB Health and Wellness, and Tri Delta Sorority participated by setting up tables to distribute information about healthy lifestyle choices.

HERSTORY<\/h3>\n

Herstory is a student-produced magazine for art, poetry, fiction and memoirs submitted by UCSB students and community members. The guiding light behind the publication is a combination of themes the editors\u00a0developed\u00a0with their\u00a0sister group, A.S. Womyn\u2019s Commission, as well as the community-at-large. The themes they\u00a0draw from include change, strength, unity and power.<\/p>\n

Aside from Herstory being an expressive place for individuals to voice their uncensored perspectives, from global to local to personal to physical to institutional, the editors\u00a0\u00a0also strive to address some of the heavier issues facing women today.<\/p>\n
