Wikipedia:Meetup/SevenSisters/March2014SevenSisters

These events are open to all students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and community members -- new and experienced Wikipedia editors alike. Nine out of 10 Wikipedia editors are currently men, and we're aiming to change that number by getting more women involved. Be there for editing, treats, and buttons!
