Shelly Sass , Student Activist

Among the various student activist groups at ASU, Shelly Sass is known as the go-to person.  This is because Shelly Sass is an enthusiastic and tireless feminist activist whose dedicated efforts not only promote awareness of women’s issues, but LGBTQ issues as well.  Shelly’s active participation in organizations such as V-Day, HRC@ASU, Women Beyond Borders, the Women’s Coalition, and the LGBTQ Coalition, goes beyond being a general member, as Shelly takes on leadership roles in important and far reaching projects.  For example, Shelly worked as the producer for the Vagina Monologues, a task which involved not only securing funding from beneficiaries, and coordinating the efforts of various women’s organizations, but also professionally dealing with protestors for the event.  In addition to the Vagina Monologues, Shelly also helped organize the A-painting for National Coming Out Day and she provided the Women’s Coalition with the opportunity to take a public stance on Proposition 107 by participating in the awareness rally coordinated by the HRC. Shelley’s impact on the ASU community will no doubt be long lasting and enduring. She has a passion for diversity and through her actions demonstrates the importance of women’s advancement at ASU and in society.
