SUNY Geneseo
October 30, 1994

Enclosed is the list of courses for next semester. As you can see, an enterprising student who had already taken Issues in Feminism could complete a Women's Studies Minor simply by taking next semester's Courses! (Please note that Stacey Edgar will be offering Philosophy of Women again next semester; she will not be able to offer it during 1995/1996, and it will next be taught in Fall, 1996)

Monday, November 7, 7:00 pm, Newton 204. "Gotta Make This Journey." If you love the music of the Black women's singing group, "Sweet Honey in the Rock," plan to come to this hour-long video! Cosponsored by Women's Studies and the Year of African Roots.

Wednesday, November 30, 12:00 Noon (Hunt Room). The Women Faculty Brown Bag Lunch will meet. All faculty, professional staff, and librarians are welcome!
