ALUMNAE NEWS - JANUARY 2017
|
Now in our fifth year of celebrating the international One Billion Rising mass action, Carondelet is taking on a larger role this year as a host site.
You are invited back
to campus to join with us as we rise in solidarity to end violence against women.
The program will include guest speakers, including Concord Mayor Laura Hoffmeister and writer/poet/health educator Emari Dimagiba '90, engaging activities, dancing (we'll teach "Break the Chain"), a "Rise Up" performance by our nationally acclaimed dance team, informational booths, and more. Mark your calendar!
"The focus of this event is to empower our young women and our community to be advocates for social justice and equality," said Principal Kevin Cushing. "We do this by emphasizing what brings us together as a community instead of the issues that might divide us."
Monday, Feb. 13
5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
