The 天天吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Center will host the eighth annual Mothers, Mentors and Muses Scholarship Fundraiser Reception. The event will take place at the 天天吃瓜 Student Center Ballroom on March 14 from 5-7:30 p.m. The guest speaker for this year鈥檚 event is Connie Schultz, 天天吃瓜 State faculty and Pulitzer Prize winner.
The event honors women as either a mother 鈥� someone who has helped 鈥渂irth鈥� new ideas and thoughts in others and also has served as an overall nurturing individual; a mentor 鈥� an individual who has been both a role model and a trusted counselor to others; or a muse 鈥� an individual who has inspired both creativity and academic enthusiasm in others. Over the past seven years, approximately 375 women have been honored in these respective roles.
The Women鈥檚 Center, which was established in 1996, supports women in their academic careers. Funds raised at the event will fund $500 scholarship awards for two 天天吃瓜 State female or female-identifying students. This scholarship has benefited 25 students since its introduction in 2003. Register early, space is limited!
The silent auction begins at 5 pm. Remember to bring your credit card, checkbook and/or cash to support the Women鈥檚 Center Scholarship Fund.
