The President’s Commission on the Status of Women, the Lamson Library and Learning Commons, and S.A.G.E. Center will welcome author Linda Tarr-Whelan to Plymouth State University on Wednesday, September 23rd.

Later, Ladies Home Journal named Ms. Tarr-Whelan as one of the 50 most powerful women in Washington. Currently, she serves as Chair of the National Advisory Council for the Pax World Resources Women’s Equity Fund. In 2007, Ms. Tarr-Whelan was the Undergraduate Commencement speaker at PSU and received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
