A Celebration of Women: Educate a Woman Change the World

This event's purpose is to bring women across campus together to celebrate womanhood and inspire one another. For those of you who were able to attend, you'll agree that the event was indeed inspiring, fun, and unifying. We'd like to hold another event this year on the evening of March 20, 2013. We've asked Dr. Susan Madsen to address us-- a leader of the Utah Women Education Initiative, an effort by the governor to reverse Utah trends of decreasing levels of education for women. If you'd like to hear more about her vision and purpose, please watch the video at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLn7p6XcgmU

Tickets will be on sale at the WILK info desk.
