A public program examining the varied personal and career decisons faced by today's women will be held March 18 at Mississippi State University.
"Options: Choices for Women in the '90s and Beyond" is being presented as part of campus Women's Month activities.
The program, which begins at 4 p.m. in Simrall Hall auditorium, is being dedicated to the late Cindy Rose, a curriculum and instruction professor who died in 1996. Rose had served as chair of the MSU President's Commission on the Status of Women, a sponsor of the Wednesday event.
A panel of five will discuss briefly the choices each has made in life. Following the presentations, a dialogue between the panelists and audience will be encouraged to further explore the topic.
The presenters include:
--Lesia Crumpton, an MSU associate professor of industrial engineering;
--Cecilia Reese Bullock of Jackson, owner of Historical Replications Inc.;
--Meg Hargrove, occupational therapist at the Columbus Therapy and Sports Medicine Clinic;
--Carolyn Katz, a retired Starkville businesswoman who last year became MSU's oldest graduate; and
--Susan Tomlinson, a former associate professor of horticulture at the university who now is at home raising three young children.
Nancy D. Hargrove, a member of the MSU English department faculty and a Giles Distinguished Professor, will serve as moderator.
The University Honors, Schillig Scholars and Women Studies programs also are sponsors of the panel discussion.
