There’ll be ice cream and music by WXUT, and guests can visit renovated spaces, including the conference room and Kate’s Closet, a resource offering professional clothing for women. Kate’s Closet is open for appointments for female UT students.
In addition, the Women & Philanthropy Computer Lab will be revealed. The lab was made possible by a $21,400 grant awarded this summer by Women & Philanthropy at The University of Toledo.
“We appreciate all the donations and are glad to have the expansion with the new equipment to offer our students and Eberly Center participants,” said Dr. Shanda Gore, chief diversity officer and associate vice president for equity, diversity and community engagement. “The efforts of the diversity staff and the work from UT facilities over this past summer were outstanding and made this all possible.”
In addition, guests may browse the displays created by local Latina artists featured in the main hallway of the Eberly Center.
Class registrations for fall are open, and the schedules are available online at utoledo.edu/centers/eberly; hard copies also are available at the Eberly Center and across campus.
