The Women's Studies Department, in conjunction with the Women's Center, is pleased to announce that this year's inaugural Carol Ortman Perkins Lectureship and Women's History Month anchor event will be "An Evening with Kathy Najimy." Kathy Najimy, star of stage, screen, and animated situation comedy, is a longtime friend of Carol Perkins. 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.
