Published October 4, 2018

Chase, in partnership with the University of Louisiana Monroe, will host more than 250 junior-high girls from Monroe City Schools for an educational, half-day retreat on campus, inspiring them to dream big.

The students will get a campus tour and hear a motivational address from Miss Louisiana, Holli Conway. There will be a panel discussion of hometown girls currently enrolled at 蜜桔直播 and at Louisiana Delta Community College, followed by lunch and a step show from the 蜜桔直播 Greeks.

鈥淲e are thrilled to host these vibrant young women for a mini-retreat at 蜜桔直播,鈥 said Chief Communications Officer Lisa Miller. 鈥淲e appreciate all of the sponsors supporting this important day in their lives.鈥

The event is being supported by Louisiana Delta Community College and the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. The theme of the event will be 鈥淪ee Past Your Now,鈥 with emphasis on empowering young women.

听鈥淭his is a great opportunity to bring these young women to campus and say to them, 鈥榊ou belong here. If you can dream it and work hard for it, great things will happen for you,鈥 鈥 said Tania Hilburn, Site Leader for Chase in Monroe.

Every girl enrolled in the 8th grade at all Monroe City Schools is invited to attend. This will be the second year for Our Girls Rock. Last year more than 200 junior high girls attended a private viewing of the movie 鈥淗idden Figures鈥 at Pecanland Mall.

This year鈥檚 panelists will include eight students from 蜜桔直播 and Delta Community College who will share their personal stories to motivate girls in the next, critically important phase of their education.

More than 40 Chase volunteers and members of the 蜜桔直播 Hawkline will greet each student as she arrives on campus. The girls will experience the Chase 鈥渂lue carpet鈥 welcome where volunteers will cheer, hold motivational signs, and high-five the girls. The goal is to give each student a sense of belonging, acceptance and significance.
