Events

CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

We sponsor a variety of speakers, programs, cultural activities, workshops, leadership training opportunities, and conferences with a focus on women's issues and concerns. Each year, we sponsor a campus-wide celebration of Women's History Month in March and an Outstanding Women's Awards ceremony in May. Angela Davis, Leslie Feinberg, Wilma Mankiller, Ntozake Shange, Gerda Lerner, Dolores Huerta, Gloria Steinem, bell hooks, Ana Castillo, and Shirley Chisholm are among the leaders and scholars who have visited the campus to meet and speak with students. We distribute information on campus and community news, events, and services through a bulletin board and resource rack located outside of Central Classroom 212. Contact Joanna Snawder for additional information.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009
Time: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Tivoli 444

The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten, reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers, and gives allies a chance to step forward and stand in vigil, memorializing those who’ve died by anti-transgender violence.

TDOR will be recognized throughout the day and will include information on Transgender Awareness as well as community sharing time. There will be two Violence Response Workshops, one from 11:00am-12:00pm and the second from 2:00pm-3:00pm with discussion groups to follow after each one. The Workshops will address prevention strategies, by-stander intervention and overall safety.
