Midland College To Host Women’s Well-Being Resource Fair November 20, 2024

Midland College is bringing the community together for an evening focused on women’s well-being and community spirit on Tuesday, Dec. 3. The event will kick off with a Women’s Well-Being Resource Fair from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center, featuring over 40 local organizations and Midland College resources.

The fair will provide attendees with valuable information and services related to health, wellness, and overall well-being — all in one convenient location. By connecting women with support networks and education services, MC hopes to help provide access to the tools they need to thrive in their personal and professional lives. 

In addition to these connections, participants will receive free hot chocolate and cookies, and the chance to win a Midland College t-shirt and gift cards to local establishments.

Following the fair, attendees are invited to stay and support the Midland College Women’s Basketball Lady Chaps, who will take on Ranger College at 6 p.m. Admission to the game is FREE for all resource fair participants. 

“As a public institution, Midland College is committed to empowering our community to succeed,” said Dr. Jaime Águila, MC’s Director of Community & Family Engagement. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to highlight and support women’s contributions to our region while fostering personal well-being and community connection. The Women’s Well-Being Resource Fair provides a supportive space for women and girls to access the tools and resources they need to thrive in their endeavors.”
