Project Overview: The mission of the Harriet E. Richards Cooperative House is to provide alternative, on-campus housing to undergraduate women, cisgender and transgender women alike, as well as nonbinary individuals, who are dependent on financial-aid at Boston University. I’ve served on the HERAA Board as the Communications Committee Chair over several years with the focus being on supporting website management and using our Facebook page to share updates and engage alumnae. In addition, support review and promotion of HERAA’s external messaging including newsletters and postcards.
