Among the events scheduled by the college’s Women’s History Month Committee are an art exhibit featuring six international female artists, two theater performances, a film screening, a spoken word and open mic performance, as well as insightful lectures and discussions. Three special lectures celebrate women’s role in SRJC’s 100-year history.

Events include:

• A lecture by acclaimed local historian and journalist Gaye LeBaron

• A talk by SRJC Director of Institutional Research KC Greaney, highlighting the history of women at SRJC

• SRJC Theater Department’s production of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter

• Talking With, a theater performance benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

• The Farthest Shore, an art exhibit that brings together six women artists from USA, Canada and Ukraine.

Most of the activities during the month-long event series are free. All are open to the public and will take place on both SRJC’s Santa Rosa and Petaluma campuses. Parking permits are required, cost $4 and are available on campus lots.
