This past weekend, a few of our student ambassadors had the opportunity to serve with Straight Street Ministry! 🌿
We spent time clearing weeds and removing debris from the garden at their residential facility, helping prepare the space so the women can plant flowers and make it their own. Straight Street Ministry does incredible work supporting women as they leave the sex trafficking industry, offering resources for personal development, education, and essential life skills.
We are grateful for the chance to give back and support such meaningful work in our community 💛

It`s Women’s History Month at Brenau!
March is a time to reflect on the trailblazing women who have shaped our world, and nowhere is that spirit more alive than at The Women’s College at Brenau University. This year, we were ranked No. 21 in the nation on Newsweek`s inaugural list of America’s Best Colleges for Women and today we invite you to turn that momentum into action.
By making a gift at brenau.edu/WCgift, you aren`t just making a donation; you are protecting a sisterhood. Your contribution, whether a one-time gift or a monthly sustaining commitment, provides the essential resources needed to continue our academic programs and leadership opportunities.
When our alumnae unite, their collective power ensures that the next generation of Brenau women has the same transformative experience that you did. Help us make this our most impactful Women’s History Month yet!
