CARROLLTON, GA - The fifth annual “Celebration of Womanhood” at the University of West Georgia will be held Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. in the Kathy Cashen Hall of the Humanities Building featuring a lecture by Alethea Bonello, southeast regional director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Bonello’s topic will be “Preparing our students for a world of cultural differences.”
According to Moyeen Abiodun, multicultural chair of the Student Activities Council (SAC), the evening is in memory of UWG student Toyal Jackson, who initiated the event.
“This semi-formal function is for the appreciation and celebration of woman kind on our campus,” she said.
