The Mensi Project
The Mensi Project was started on campus in the fall of 2018 by Instructor Christy Ferguson.
The Project's Goals:
- Increase access to menstrual products on campus for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors
- To encourage conversations to crush stigma relating to menstruation, period poverty, and women's health
- To encourage more "women supporting women" behavior on a simple, effective, everyday level
Product donations are always appreciated. Donations can be placed in any Mensi bag at any time or you can contact us for drop off/pick up.
We accept individually wrapped:
- Wipes
- Tampons
- Pads
- Liners
Students and/or student groups can volunteer to help with things like filling bags, social media posts/images/videos/outreach, etc.
