Texas Tech Celebrates Women’s History Month
WHAT: The Women’s Studies Program will host two events to commemorate Women’s History Month.
WHEN: Women in Combat Forum: 4 p.m. March 20
“Miss Representation” film screening: 6 p.m. March 25
WHERE: Both events will be held at the Escondido Theatre at the Student Union Building.
EVENT: The Women in Combat Forum is held in conjunction with the Military Veterans Program along with several Texas Tech professors. The forum will focus on women’s history in the military as well as current positions held by women. Additionally, the panelist will discuss the most recent executive order announced from the Pentagon.
The film screening of “Miss Representation” is hosted by the Women’s Studies Program and the members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America and challenges the media’s portrayal of women and girls.
These events are free and open to the public. Visitor parking is available in the Student Union parking lot.
