The Exchange
The Exchange is a club that is dedicated to on-campus community building and the fostering of open-dialogue and support networks. Brooklyn College hosts a multitude of students from different backgrounds. The Exchange seeks to be a meeting point for our students, providing a safe-space for free conversation, connectivity, and networking, and there’s no better place to do this than over food. Our events consist largely of monthly Friday Potlucks during the semester. Despite COVID restrictions, The Exchange remains dedicated to community through virtual events.
Women’s History Month Committee
Women’s History Month Committee is dedicated to acknowledging and commemorating our sisters, past and present, united in womanhood and triumphs. Our committee celebrates the women who paved the way for us through fun and engaging events during March: Women’s History Month. Women have shaped the world around us and our accomplishments demand recognition!
