Creighton University’s Panhellenic Council will sponsor “Confidence U,” a series of on-campus events from March 28 to April 1 designed to promote self-esteem and confidence among collegiate women. National studies indicate that many issues facing college women are directly related to a lack of confidence. The activities are some of many encouraged by the Confidence Coalition.

Events throughout the week include:

• Monday, March 28: “You Make Me Smile Event”—students write messages on balloons for other students; 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Skinner Mall.

• Tuesday, March 29: “Go Confidently” – students donate handbags to benefit the women of the Lydia House, a local shelter for battered women; 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Skinner Mall.
