Description:
Marilyn Evans worked with women in Muslim counties: Afghanistan, Yemen, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. She worked with two NGO's dedicated to the democratic development and a UN election-related mission in Afghanistan where she provided consultation, coaching, and training for women who were interested in the political process. For women who were actually seeking office, she provided campaign training and coaching.

In these countries, women are represented in the various political parties, but do not truly have an influence as political leaders. Women are not taken seriously as candidates for office due to their lack of power, unless the woman is related to a poweful male figure.

In Afghanistan, Marilyn served as the "gender specialist" for the UN, as well as continued work efforts with women who were political party leaders.

EXPERIENCE DANCE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE

Diavolo is a famous internationally acclaimed modern dance company, who have been recognized for years as being at the vanguard of the modern dance movment. Come see a dance show that is unlike any other you will ever see.

Whether you are a long-time lover of dance or you have never seen or cared about dance in your life, this show will take your breath away.

The company is composed of dancers, gymnasts and actors who choreograph their pieces around outrageous and surrealistic set pieces. Everyday items such as doors, chairs and stairways provide the back-drop for dramatic movement – leaping, flying, twirling – that creates metaphors for the challenge of relationships, the absurdities of life and the struggle to maintain our humanity in an increasingly technological world.

USC STUDENTS: ADMISSION IS FREE. Just show up before the show starts WITH YOUR STUDENT ID and you will be let it. Get there early for good seats, seating will be first come first serve.

Ralph Nader
Don't Waste Your 20's!
Take on the Little Things & The Big Things
A featured seminar of the Provost's Graduate Social Impact Seminar Series

Tuesday, October 24
THH 101 @ 6PM

Honored by Time magazine as One of the 100 Most Influential Americans of the Twentieth Century, author, consumer advocate and presidential candidate for the Green Party, Ralph Nader, has devoted his life to giving ordinary people the tools they need to defend themselves against corporate negligence and government indifference. With a tireless, selfless dedication, he continues to expose and remedy the dangers that threaten a free and safe society. Laws he helped draft and pass include the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Meat and Poultry Inspection Rules, the Air and Water Pollution Control Laws and the Freedom of Information Act.

Nader delivers a message that is simple and compelling: "To go through life as a non-citizen would be to feel that there's nothing you can do, that nobody's listening, that you don't matter. But to be a citizen is to enjoy the deep satisfaction of seeing the prevention of pain, misery and injustice."

Hello, my name is Raiza Cabral and I am writing to you on behalf of the Public Relations team of Program Board. We are currently working to collect PR information on the various committees and assemblies of Program Board in order to be more effective and prepared in publicizing the requested events. I am hoping that as the contact for ISA you can provide PBPR with information regarding your assembly, such as intitatives of the assembly, upcoming events, preferences for publicity, desired target audience and the like. This information will be benficial for the team and your assembly as well in order to appropriately and successfully publicize for ISA. Thank you and any extra information is appreciated.

ISA Multicultural Week (Kristen--> parkside again?)
Trojan Pride Galen Center (new update: no tour, event starts at 4:30pm, and the new Spirit Leaders wil be making an appearance) (Leela)
Performing Arts Diavolo (Loren)
LSA Trojan Family Dinner (Colleen)
BSA Soul Food Dinner (Armando)

Please pick them up after 1pm tomorrow. Staple guns are in the second drawer in my desk.

If you have any questions please email me! I have a new email address I'm trying to switch over to (since i hate usc email).

A Couple Things

1. Because we had orientation Sunday, we're not going to have a meeting tomorrow.

If you didn't go to the orientation on Sunday, please meet with me sometime tomorrow to discuss what you missed. I will be available in the office to talk from 4-5:30pm! Let me know if you're going to come in!

2. I have the LSA and BSA flyers available. They're in one of the shelves on my desk. I need someone to flyer for BSA, email me if you can.


Thanks!!

Performing Arts: Diavlo Dance Theater

Date: 10/23/06 (most likely to be changed to 10.20)
Time: 8 PM
Location: Bovard Auditorium
Description: This event is a performance by a LA based modern dance company called Diavolo. The company is made up of dancers, actors, and gymnasts, and their pieces are choreographed collaboratively, often based around life-size, very surreal set pieces. Many of these set pieces are actually just versions of everyday objects, like doors or stairways, but they are utilized in such an innovative way and in the context of such breathtaking performances that they end up taking on a completely new meaning by the end of each piece. They have toured for years at the vanguard of the modern dance movement nationally and internationally, and their pieces range from the dream-like, to the political. We will be opening up all of Bovard for the event, and General Admission tickets will be sold to the public. Students with ID’s will have free admission to the event, and all guests will be seated on a first come first serve basis.

Artwork: Just something really cool that makes good use of the images of the dancers (which I should have for you on a disk by Thursday). Whether its just a single, large photo of the company mid-movement, or a mongtage of several photos, i really want to capitalize on the still images of the dancers so that it will catch peoples eye. Also, it needs to say:

"Diavolo
Jacques Heim, Artistic Director"

and make sure it says free admission with student ID.

Alterna
tive Adverstising: Getting DT to write an article, cardboard posters up by the ticket office, school of theater listserve, class announcements, banners, using glass casing to advertise, getting on visions and voices web page.

Trojan Pride - Galen Center Opening Night

Date: 10/12/06 (most likely to be changed to 10.20)
