RICH B*TCH by Rachel Lynett

Theatre Production directed by Asst. Prof of Theatre Jonathan Ziese
Dani, Emma, Izzy, Vivien, and Maddie gather in a Las Vegas hotel to celebrate Emma's wedding. (Just don't call it a "bachelorette party" or Emma will yell at you.) No one expected the literal and proverbial cuts they would ultimately inflict on each other over the course of an evening that would change each of their lives in ways both overt and subtle.

The three shows, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, (March 30-April 1) will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Miller Theater.

This show is free to the public and no reservations are required.

*Please note that this show does contain mature subject matter with adult content and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Ramadan 2023


Please Read:

Message from Zahriyah- Amina, Vice President of the African Students Association (ASA) and the Muslim Student Ambassador.


As Salam Alaikum Ramatullahi Wa Barakhatu All,

The Cresent Moon has been spotted in Saudi meaning this year Ramadan will take place from Wednesday, March 22nd to Friday, April 21.

First, we would like to commend you on your commitment to fasting this year as it is a challenging thing to do while being active and school while also taking part in sports, clubs, or organizations. Angie Taylor has offered to supply dates and water on a needed basis. You can stop by her office on the first floor of Powell to get your supplies per week. We also have an area on the second floor of the gothic Powell equipped with Qurans, Dikr beads, Prayer rugs, and garments if you need them.

If you would like personal Qurans in English we have about 50 we can give away, please contact Eliza Ordway or Angie Taylor for them. As you know we also have 3 Stories of the Prophets events coming up with snacks and chia as you enjoy the film. THESE FILMS WILL NOT SHOW THE FACE OF ANY PROPHET WITHIN ISLAM AS IT IS CONSIDERED HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL.

We will also be hosting a trip to a Masjid in Elmira NY during Dhurh prayer on Sunday, April 2nd to get a tour of the masjid and to learn more about the blessed month of Ramadan. We hope your Ramadan is easy this year and if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Women's History Monty

Women's History Month was initially just International Women's Day, a day that commemorated the Feb. 28 meeting of socialists and suffragists in Manhattan in 1909.

One year later, on March 8, 1910, according to BBC, a German activist named Clara Zetkin suggested that they recognize International Women's Day at an International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen. With 17 countries in attendance at the conference, they all agreed.

On March 8, 1911, the first International Women's Day was celebrated in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark, though the holiday wasn't widely celebrated in the United States until the United Nations began sponsoring it in 1975.

In 1977, in order to persuade school principals to comply with the recently passed Title IX, a task force in California created Women's History Week. They used that week to celebrate the accomplishments of women.

In March 1980, after celebrations had spread across the country, President Jimmy Carter declared that March 8 was officially the start of National Women's History Week. That same year, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch and Maryland Representative Barbara Mikulski co-sponsored the first Joint Congressional Resolution declaring the week of March 8, 1981, National Women's History Week.

By 1987, Congress declared the entire month of March Women's History Month. Since then, every president has declared the month of March Women's History Month.

Bridges Between Mathematics and the Arts

Next week is advising week, so here's a heads up about a special course being offered in fall 2023:


Topics: Bridges Between Mathematics and the Arts - 18497 - MATH 200 - 1

This course is designed for anyone with an interest in art or math. We will focus on learning and exploring intersections of the two fields, drawing on research and expertise of AU math and arts faculty. Students will produce artwork and/or analytical papers which can be submitted for peer review to The Bridges Organization, an international mathematics, art, music, architecture, and culture organization with an annual conference and peer-reviewed publications. Mentoring students who are producing work for peer review, then optionally submitting it and/or attending the Bridges 2024 math arts conference are all facets of the class. Faculty will continue mentoring students toward this goal, even when the class concludes. For more information about the Bridges organization, including archives of previously accepted artwork and papers, conference announcements and updates see https://www.bridgesmathar....

The course is cotaught by Doctors Lipnicki and Matson. It will take place 12:20-1:10pm MTWF.   Please keep it in mind for your advising week meetings.
