On May 27, the Feminist Student Alliance (FSA) held its last event of the year: an end-of-year celebration, honoring FSA’s seniors and welcoming the new executive board members for the 2026-2027 school year.
While watching a slideshow of FSA’s highlights from the past year, attendees were invited to sip mocktails and enjoy giant slices of pizza from Cosmo’s, saving the cookie cake from Insomnia Cookies for dessert.
After attendees were given a chance to mingle, the night’s commemorative events began. As the current secretary, I presented the four FSA seniors — president Macey Krull, treasurer Sierra Origer and logistics officers Julia Hubert and Yoli Ramierez-Tamez — with FSA’s first-ever graduation stoles.
The seniors were given the opportunity to reflect on the numerous opportunities FSA has given them, such as community building and advocacy opportunities. Krull also took the time to thank the current officers for their commitment this past year, giving them each a rose and a unique decorative glass cup.
Krull then announced it was time to pass the torch and introduce the executive board for the next school year. In a slideshow introducing each member individually, the new board was able to stand up to introduce themselves and share what condiment they would like to dispense from their belly button, an icebreaker suggested by Krull.
The new board consisted of President Emily Fogt, Vice President of Finances Ella Rogers, Vice President of Crimson Communications Faith Lanham, Vice President of Visual Communications Gabby Mansour, Historian Farah Abdulmahdi and Logistics Officers Riley McCarthy and Madison James.
Reflecting on her time as president, Krull, who is graduating this spring with a degree in psychology, remarked that her favorite events to plan were the ones with educational elements because “it’s a lot of fun to see new members and returning members discover new areas of feminism, new theories, new practices, that they maybe didn’t know about.”
Looking ahead, Fogt, a current second-year studying strategic communication and communication studies, said that her goal for the next year is to have a broader reach on campus.
“I want to create a strong bond and just be a safe place for people to be,” Fogt remarked. “I hope that people can find a community and find a belonging within the club because anyone can be a feminist.”
