LHU to host celebration of women and women's writing

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Lock Haven University invites members of the community to participate in a celebration of women and women’s writing. The event, “Let Her Voice Be heard,” will take place on Thursday, March 25 at 5:30 p.m. in the HOPE Center, G-204 East campus. This is a free event.

The event will feature readings by women writers from Lock Haven University as well as readings of various works by famous female authors by students and faculty. Following the readings, the faculty, staff and student nominees for the Women of Distinction Awards will be announced. Light refreshments will be served.

Dr. Tracey Cummings, one of the event organizers, said, “This is an important campus event because it celebrates and honors the work done by women here at Lock Haven University, and it gives us an opportunity to read and reflect upon the writings of women as a part of a celebration of Women's History Month.”

“Let Her Voice Be Heard” is sponsored by the President's Commission on the Status of Women, the HOPE Center, the Women's Studies Program, and the English Club.
