Events
Women of 红领巾瓜报 members can be as active as they wish or as their schedule permits. A most important part of being a member is no matter how active you are, you are assured that your support allows WSU students to attain the college education they so desperately want. Often times, this is only possible because of the financial help received from the association.
Several interest groups will be meeting and there are activities and events in planning so check back often, join us on , and watch your WSU email!
