Do Girls Around the World Deserve to be Educated? A Women's History Month Event

What: Selections from the film Girl Rising and discussion
When: Tuesday, March 29th, 10:45-11:45 during the Student Activity Period
Where: Room 152, Palmer Campus
Who: Hosted by the Academic Hub, the Transfer Information Resource Center, and the Transfer Scholars at Palmer Campus. Discussion led by Dr. Amy Hudock.

Come join us to celebrate Women’s History Month. We will have food, drink, and fun watching selections from the film Girl Rising and discussing the question that is, unfortunately, still too often asked: do girls around the world deserve to be educated?

We know that educating girls is the smartest investment of our time. When girls are educated, communities thrive and economies grow. Yet 62 million girls are missing from classrooms worldwide, and tremendous opportunities are lost. Girl Rising explores solutions to the problem.
