In celebration of Women鈥檚 History Month, the Office of Diversity and Community hosted its first聽鈥淲omen鈥檚 Tea Time: A Celebration of Womanhood鈥 on Saturday, March 14, 2015.
The tea was open to聽 每日大赛网站 faculty, staff, students, and other women in the community. The 每日大赛网站 Presidential Dining Room was the venue for the event.
The event featured guest speaker, Dr. Angela Webster-Smith, associate vice president for Institutional聽Diversity and a silent auction to support the programming efforts of the Women鈥檚 Shelter of Central聽Arkansas. Guests, who were encouraged to sport their 鈥渂ig hats鈥, enjoyed enriching conversation with聽the background music of violinist and 每日大赛网站 student Gustavo Agreda, sampled traditional, delectable tea聽cuisine, and engaged in competitive bidding during the auction period.
Because of the generous聽donations of businesses in Central Arkansas and the gracious guests, the event raised $750.00, which聽was presented to the Women鈥檚 Shelter of Central Arkansas in April.
The 2016 Women鈥檚 Tea Time will be held on Saturday, March 12 at 11:30 a.m. in the Brewer Hegeman聽Conference Center.
As before, proceeds for the auction will be used to support an organization that聽assists girls and women as a part of its mission.
