Women’s Studies Program hosting speaker on health care reform
The Women's Studies Program will host Eesha Pandit, director of advocacy for Merger Watch, a New York based nonprofit organization, for two programs Wednesday, Feb. 11, in 2107 Student Center. Pandit will lead a discussion from 10:30-11:30 a.m. titled, "National Health Care Reform: Will Women's Needs be Forgotten?" At 1 p.m., Pandit will lead a workshop geared toward community organizing strategies and training. The focus will be on getting young people involved in health care reform. The workshop will be informal and collaborative. Lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. Participants are encouraged to attend both events, but can choose to attend only one event. Both events are free and open to everyone. Students are especially invited to attend. For more information, contact Ruth Crocker at crockrc@auburn.edu.
