Women’s Symposium offers varied events beginning May 17 Workshops, panel discussions, a concert, an art show, and a storytelling session highlight the fifth annual Women’s Symposium, to be held May 17-20 at the University. The event, bringing together prominent female artists, musicians, writers, feminists, and others, is sponsored by the Women's Symposium organization, with Women's Resource and Referral Service, Women in Transition, YWCA, and a grant from the Council for Minority Education offering assistance, according to symposium chairer Marilyn Moore. Almost all events at the symposium will be free, and planners have been "trying to bring it into focus by having speakers" and fewer workshops than in previous years.
