The Women's Resource Center is celebrating it's 40th anniversary.  To further commemorate our work for the last 40 years, we have begun to more formally chronicle the history of the Women's Resource Center--a most fitting undertaking as the theme of National Women' s History month for 2010 is Writing Women Back Into History.  Accompanying our words in this celebration will be "actions" too, in the form of some of our annual events and a 40 for 40 Alumni art show at Gallery X in September that will include the works of forty alumni who were influenced by the work we do.

Join us for cupcakes and consciousness raising! The WRC hosts an open support/discussion for anyone to join!  Come talk to us and listen to others as we discuss world events, what's happening here on campus and issues/concerns you may have in your personal life. 

Feb. 23rd   March 23rd    April 20th

Ms Braun was the first and only female African American Senator in the U.S. Senate. Following her time in the Senate, she was the U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and ran for President in the Democratic primary in 2004.

While Braun transitioned to the private sector in 2001 after nearly 30 years in public service, as the first African American female Senator and then Ambassador, she "relished the opportunity to go back to the farm and reclaim her agricultural roots. She was introduced to the Michael Fields Institute in East Troy, Wis., where her path to the organic products industry started with an initiation into Biodynamic agriculture. Harkening back to her summers in Alabama, Ambassador Braun became a strong advocate for this holistic agricultural system. She realized her commitment to a healthier environment and better quality food production would be best expressed through entering the Biodynamic and organic products industry realm." Please visit her Website for more information .

Ms. Braun will be on campus April 15, 2010.
