That Takes Ovaries! Performance and Open Mic

Monday 2/28 5pm MU Lounge Free MONDAY!

That Takes Ovaries is a night of performance and celebration for women's bravery. Come join us for monologues performed from Rivka Solomon's play and book, That Takes Ovaries, which honors women in their bravest moments. An open mic portion will follow the performances where anyone is welcome to share their story of bravery or accomplishment that "took ovaries"!

On February 15-16, the Intercultural Student Services and the Office of LGBTQ Outreach and Services will host Modern Sex: Privilege, Communication, and Culture.

This conference is organized and led by OSU students with faculty and staff support. We hope to challenge participants to examine the individual and collective struggles inherent to the entanglements of sexuality with the social and cultural systems of sex, gender, race, and class. The emphasis of this conference will be on communicating and understanding diverse perspectives around sexuality through workshops, guided facilitations, lectures, and film screenings.

Sexologist and educator Charlie Glickman will host the keynote, and plenary session on February 16, 12pm in the Memorial Union Journey room.

Certified sexologist Veronica Monet will preview her conference workshop on February 14, 4-6pm at the Women's Center.

Fairbanks Art Gallery

Shelley Jordon has an installation in Fairbanks hall, main gallery, that is running until February 2nd. It is free and open to the public. I recommend going not only because her art is amazing, but because her examination of mother/daughter relationships through art and animation is really interesting.
