International Women’s Week Social 2019
2019 International Women’s Week Social
- Monday, March 4th
- Women’s Recognition Celebration, CUB Senior Ballroom, 6-9PM
The rich tradition of women’s contributions to Washington State University encompasses teachers and scholars, staff and advisors, students and alumni, administrators and regents, volunteers and friends. The WSU Women of Distinction and Woman of the Year Awards are presented annually during National Women’s History Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of women to the academic and local community, and to our society. - Facets of Fashion Art Exhibit opens in the SEB Gallery
This year we’re exploring women’s lives through the lens of fashion. This exhibit, which will be up in the CUB throughout the month, will highlight several different aspects of fashion: as art, as culture, and as pain. This exhibit was developed in collaboration with Carol Salusso and Manal Shaheen from Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles, who are lending both their expertise and portions of their collections to this exhibit. For more information, please contact Carol Salusso. Fashion: The Threads that Bind Us opens in Holland-Terrell. This exhibit featuring classic fashion plates and the social context of fashion over time will be up in the Libraries for the first two weeks of March. For more information, contact Lorena O’English
