Posted by: admin on March 28, 2016, No Comments

There are five million more women than men living in the United States. Yet, women make up less than half of the civilian workforce. For every dollar that a man earns, a woman gets 78 cents. Gender inequality is a prominent issue that many young female professionals are faced with. On Wednesday, March 30, East Stroudsburg University’s (ESU) Women’s Center and Women’s Studies Program will host a panel discussion “Warrior Women: Empowering Ourselves to Speak Up!” The event will tackle important issues such as gender pay gaps, women’s reproductive issues and economic justice.

The free event will feature panelists Kimberly S. Adams, Ph.D., professor of political science, Jennifer A. Serowick, assistant to the provost, Andrea McClanahan, Ph.D., professor of communication studies, Brittany Kuchenbrod, a senior majoring in exercise science from Kutztown, Pa., Bridget Marley, a senior majoring in public health from Havertown, Pa., and Selina Winchester, associate director of external affairs for Planned Parenthood.

“Warrior Women: Empowering Ourselves to Speak Up” will be held at 4 p.m. in Stroud Hall room 113. For more information, please contact Sharon Brown, coordinator of the women’s center, at 570-422-3957.
