March 1997
Hi there! - I hope this March newsletter finds everybody well and happy. Although this month brings the joys of mid-terms, I hope you will all find some time to attend one of the events we have scheduled for this month. Perhaps most exciting is t he talk scheduled in honor of Women's History Month by lesbian historian Professor Annelise Orleck. Many of you asked for more LGB related academic talks, so I hope to see you all there. Also, this month there will be another pizza dinner with the LGB T ask Force members, so please come, have some free food, hear what the task force is up to and speak your mind! As always, there are other events listed here in the newsletter that you should all attend so read on, read on.
