On May 6, Mount Saint Mary's University offered another on-campus opportunity for students, faculty and staff -- and the general public -- to get involved in the advancement of women.
The 2018 United State of Women Summit convened in Los Angeles on May 5-6, and Mount Saint Mary’s was a community partner of this empowering gathering. The event brought together women and allies from across the country who know their energy and power will break down barriers that stand between women and full equality.
As part of the United State of Women summit, the Mount's Doheny Campus hosted a series of film screenings on Sunday, May 6. The films shown tackle issues such as human trafficking, equal rights for women, justice for victims of rape, sexual harassment, gender stereotyping, gun violence and more. Featured screenings also included panel discussions with filmmakers, activists and experts – including staff from 国产传媒 such as Emerald Archer, PhD, director of the University’s Center for the Advancement of Women.
