VanDIY (do-it-yourself)

About the Series

VanDIY (do-it-yourself) is a monthly workshop series presented by the Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center.  The series aims to offer a variety of personal and professional skills-building workshops ranging in topic from personal health and wellness, building trust in relationships, and learning to coupon effectively, to bicycle maintenance, and budgeting.   Each workshop is designed to equip participants with concrete practical skills that can be implemented immediately.

VanDIY is open to all undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, and community members.  Each session meets from 12pm – 1pm, and lunch is provided for the first 50 attendees who RSVP online, making it the perfect opportunity to build up your skills on your lunch break!

The spring 2012 semester will feature workshops on couponing, bicycle maintenance, meal planning and more.  Look for more information on the Women’s Center calendar and RSVP below!  If you have a suggestion for a topic you would like to engage, please contact our Graduate Assistant, Charlotte McLoud, at charlotte.m.mcloud@vanderbilt.edu.
