Planning the Spring 2014 series
takes place at 1.45 pm in the afternoons of the lectures this Fall. Come along in the afternoons and help sort through the mix of issues on the minds of women during the first couple of weeks and see how a new series will arise! Identify common issues and themes. Suggest speakers. Who knows? You could end up with an expert speaker giving a lecture on a topic very close to your heart.
