The Wellness Empowerment Center, Women’s Resource Center, and LGBTQIA Resource Center, from Student Engagement and Well-Being have partnered to host the 2nd annual Every-Body Pool Party as part of their mission to create a culture where positive body image, consistent eating, and self-care are the expected norms at Georgia Tech. The event will be held on Aug. 25 from 3-5 p.m. in the Campus Recreation Center Leisure Pool.
All students are invited to attend the free event for fun activities, food, giveaways, and (of course) some pool time. Last year’s successful inaugural event included a photo booth, pool games, free T-shirts, and more, and this year’s party is slated to be even bigger and better. In addition to a good time and some party vibes, the event is also intended to encourage a safe and inclusive environment for students who are part of marginalized groups or who feel they may not “fit in” with pool party or “beach body” culture.
Students interested in attending the Every-Body Pool Party can RSVP through Engage. All participants will be asked to sign a waiver prior to participating in the pool party.
Body positivity is about more than accepting the skin you’re in — it’s about celebrating every part of yourself, including gender, size, color, shape, and everything in between.
