Join us for the Shannon Weatherly Lecture @7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18th in the Procrastinator Theater.  The Shannon Weatherly Lecture Series memorializes a young feminist and MSU alum who was tragically killed by a hunter as she lay sleeping in her tent in Gardiner, MT in 1982.  Our speaker this year will be Dr. Dorothy J. Edwards, author of the Green Dot Violence Prevention Strategy.  Dorothy holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman's University. Prior to her current position, serving as the Executive Director of Green Dot, etc., a center dedicated to effective intervention and prevention of power-based personal violence, Dr. Edwards served for five years as the founding Director of the University of Kentucky Violence Intervention and Prevention Center. Dr. Edwards is currently working with government entities, state coalitions, military, non-profits, community organizations, high schools and colleges from around the globe. This presentation will provide an overview of the Green Dot Community Mobilization Strategy and inspire participants to see their role in prevention.  You will leave this presentation with a renewed hope and a commitment to do your part to end violence one "green dot" at a time. This event is co-sponsored by the MSU VOICE Center. Join us @ 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18th in the Strand Union Procrastinator Theater on the MSU campus for Dorothy's presentation as well as a reception (and an opportunity to meet her) following the program in the SUB Leigh Lounge. This event is free and open to the public!
