Time: 7 - 9:00 p.m.
Place: Fairview-University Medical Center, Riverside Campus (see info
following this message) Board Room (next to Dining Room B).
Fee: A $3 donation is requested, but no one will turned away if they

Subject: Beauty Misconceptions, Professor Wang Ping
Ping's an award-winning poet and author of numerous books. She is also
a professor at Macalester College where she teaches creative writing.
She will be discussing her book Aching for Beauty and how beauty
regimens have defined and molded women into an unrealistic mold. We'll
have a dialogue on how important it is to take a look at who we really
are as women. What really defines us individually is not what we are
cosmetically but rather what we are as a human being. I would strongly
encourage you to read over
her book (check it out at the library if you don't want to purchase it)
so that we can have a stimulating dialogue. Here are a couple of links
I found with more info on her and her books.

I just want to be certain everyone has the correct information with
regard to the meeting and the address. I received and email from Dr.
Ehrmann's office letting me know that the room is not in the Center for
Advanced
Medicine building, it is in the older part of the hospital through the
Children's entrance. There will be flyers posted and my cell phone
number is below so you can call me if you get lost!! Sorry for all the
confusion!!
