Since 1980, Hayman has been the program director for the Mary Magdalene Project, a long-term residential program providing alternatives to women involved in prostitution in Southern California. The presentation is part of the Women's History Month Lecture Series. The annual lecture was made possible by an endowment from retired CSUN geography professor Dr. Robert Newcomb. The lecture series is dedicated to his late wife Karen Hale Newcomb and her friend Donna Clare Gerken, both GCC graduates. The Women's History Month Student Committee and the GCC United Womyn's Council organized the event.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Knighton will discuss the Safari2000 science project, an ongoing effort by African, North American and European scientists to study the atmosphere over southern Africa.

Knighton will explain preliminary results, describe the regional problems and the study's goals and methods. The event will be held at Noon in Kreider Hall. Admission is free and open to the public.
