NC University Women to be Featured at the United Nations
WomenNC is proud to announce a “local-to-global” forum at the NC State University Club on February 16, 2012, from 5:30 to 8:00pm (Dinner to be served at 6:00pm). Five select North Carolina university women, awarded 2012 WomenNC CSW Fellows, will formally share their research findings with our community, as a precursor to their panel presentation at the United Nations’ 56th Annual “Commission on the Status of Women” (CSW), in New York City, NY, the last week in February. The students are from UNC, Meredith and NC State. Meet them by reading their biographies and blogs.
The topics discussed will be Political Participation of Rural Women, Technology Education for Girls, Agriculture & Rural Women Farmers, Sexual Trafficking in NC, and Rural Women & Community Health Systems.
