Women*s Initiative for
Leadership Development
(WILD)
​
The Women*s Initiative for Leadership Development (or WILD) is a student leadership conference facilitated by a committee of engaged students in collaboration with the office of Women*s and Gender Equity and Women*s Council at Michigan State University.

Take Back The Night
(TBTN)
Take Back The Night is an annual event that takes place during the spring action week of the It’s On Us national campaign. It is focused on ending the occurrence of sexual and relationship violence and advocates to transform the culture that endorses the oppression of survivors. There are numerous activities planned throughout the week to increase awareness, celebrate/empower survivors, and demand an end to rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, incest, and sexual harassment.
FemFest
FemFest is a celebration of feminism in the arts, brought to MSU by Women*s and Gender Equity Office, Impact 89FM, and MSU Women*s Council. Fem Fest is an opportunity for incoming and current Spartans to celebrate feminism in visual arts, poetry/spoken word, and music. Fem Fest considers feminism to be expansive, not exclusionary. By this, we consider feminism to mean advocacy and expression of all genders and sexual orientations. We encourage anyone in the Spartan community who shares our values of inclusivity on the basis of ALL identities to join us in celebrating Fem Fest. Stay tuned for FemFest 2025!
