UNC senior Rosie Glaser realized there was a problem when she visited Colorado State University’s campus in Fort Collins. She saw something there that did not exist at UNC: free menstrual products in every all-gender restroom. Glaser then thought of a way she could influence change at UNC.
Glaser is the founder of Project M.E., a student-led initiative at UNC that provides free menstrual products to those who need them and advocates for the expansion of access to menstrual products both on and off campus.
