    <div><u><strong>Event Update!<br><br></strong></u></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Critical Social Justice: Ignite</strong> is October 22-26th. We're excited that our keynote speaker, Deanna Zandt, has adapted her keynote address to spend time focusing on the current concerns and activism related to sexual violence on our campus. Deanna is a voice in the #MeToo movement. When her story was publicly aired on This American Life’s “Five Women” episode, Deanna and her complex story became another face of #MeToo. She has since spoken out about the #MeToo movement’s initiative to both bring sexual assault perpetrators to justice and to empower survivors to tell their stories and/or heal.</div>
    <div>We are also excited to offer an <strong>introductory plenary with alumnae Yoo-Jin Kang, INDS ‘15 and Susie Hinz, GWST ‘14 on the topic of survivor activism and critical social justice prior to Deanna's keynote.</strong>

<Title>Check out our livestream on Dr. Ford's Senate Hearing!</Title>
<Tagline>We will be streaming Dr. Christine Ford's Senate Testimony.</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Women's Center was founded in 1991, the same year Anita Hill took a stand against the sexual harassment she experienced at the hands of former employer, current Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Her activism and the cultural movement she sparked serve as the catalyst to protecting those who experience sexual harassment in the workplace today. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>In the spirit of that historic moment, we are creating a supportive community space tomorrow at 10 AM in the Women's Center as we live-stream Dr. Christine Ford's Senate Testimony, knowing this too will be a historic moment in today's #MeToo movement.
