In a Women s College course, the soft-spoken female is encouraged to speak out. Voices is an extension of these efforts. In making the submission process casual and open to anyone, we hope to offer the opportunity of publication to all persons interested. In accordance with The Women s College slogan, Every issue is a women s issue, we strive to make feminism mainstream. Additionally, I don t want for any student to miss the opportunity to participate in The Women s College.
Voices is an attempt to prevent such a conundrum.
This semester, women s progress at SMC has been really exciting. The Facilitators Program, with a strong enrollment of new and returning students, has had great success. Faculty members, Ricky Manoff and Christina Preciado and SMC alumni have generated much discussion with their lectures at brown bag lunches. Facilitators have gotten the ball rolling with their projects, including a film on feminism at SMC, a survey on women in math, and an examination of returning female students. Meanwhile, faculty and students have met every Friday to plan the May 12 Women s College Retreat.
