Ms. Najimy speaks out on issues such as the international AIDS crisis, animal rights, body image, and women's rights. Her address will combine her political activism and her comedy skills to inform us and make us laugh. If you would like to read more about her, the official website is http://www.kathynajimy.com/
This event is sponsored by the Women's Center, the Carol Ortman Perkins Lectureship Fund, the Department of Institutional Diversity, the Department of Ethnic Studies, and the Department of Theatre & Dance.
