Cinda served on the planning committee for this event, committed her organization to helping out, found volunteers to string pink ribbon around campus, developed a table full of products to buy to support cancer research, and was one of our panelists. Cinda has clearly developed a bridge between the Women's Center and the Corpus Christi Community."
