Black Movie Horror Night

We'll be watching The Gates (2026) as a part of our Black History Month celebration.

Here's a synopsis:

Three friends’ road trip turns deadly when they witness a murder in a gated community, forcing them to survive against a menacing patriarch and unravel a web of danger and deception.

All are Welcomed! Come comfortable and cozy. Feel free to bring your own blanket. Couches and comfy seating are available on a first come first serve basis.

Act Up

The Women’s Center is hosting a resource fair, dinner and keynote in the Centennial Student Union Ballroom encouraging students to ACT UP: connecting their talents to your volunteer needs to take action to serve our community.

The Resource Fair begins at 6 p.m. (with a 5:30 p.m. set up time). Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. and we will be joined by keynote JP Pritchett, owner and operator of Smitten Kitten, the adult toy store receiving global recognition as a Minneapolis hub for mutual aid during Operation Metro Surge earlier this year.

The event will conclude with a few words from Zonta about the upcoming 16 Days of Activism led by UN Women. 16 Days of Activism is a global movement to end violence against women and girls that starts November 25 and goes through December 10.

This event is brought to you by the Women's Center at Minnesota State University, Mankato and Greater Mankato ACT: Advocacy and Community Together. Advocacy and Community Together is a nonpartisan coalition of Greater Mankato nonprofits using our collective power to provide resources and advocate for the sector.

*Colleagues, please feel free to share this event with any student groups who might like to table for the resource fair.
