The Tenth Annual Sam and Marilyn Fox Atlas Week Program will be held the week of March 22-26, with a keynote on Wednesday, March 24, at 5:30 in the Busch Student Center presented by Hauwa Ibrahim. The keynote will address the third United Nations Millenium Goal: “Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.”
The Atlas Week program will hold a private reception immediately following the symposium. If you would like to attend, RSVP to AtlasReception2010@gmail.com. Space is limited, so preference will be given in the order received. Please respond no later that Wednesday, March 17.
Atlas has more information about the keynote speaker below:
One of the top defenders of women’s rights in Nigeria, Hauwa Ibrahim has won a number of precedent-setting cases before Islamic Sharia courts. She first came to inter- national attention in 2003 when she won an appeal for Amina Lawal, a Nigerian woman convicted of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning. A firm proponent of the rule of law, she has argued that Sharia law requires the courts to respect the procedural and substantive rights guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.

Tonight, Reinert Hall and Billikens After Dark are hosting what they deem a “Kintergarten Night” with midterm diversions you may remember from the mid-nineties.
The menu includes Worms ‘n dirt, goldfish, fruit snacks, juice boxes, and more (I’m holding out for Mondos and Dunkaroos). As far as events go, expect lots of fingerpainting, coloring, Play-doh, Twister, and Candy Land.
For more information, contact Alyssa Kernan at kernana@slu.edu or visit the facebook page.
