About this event
The UC Davis Forums on the Public University and the Social Good is pleased to announce that our sixth Forum for the 2018-2019 season will take place on Thursday, May 23, 2019. This Forum will feature Dr. Elizabeth L. Hillman, the President of Mills College.
In her lecture, Dr. Hillman will discuss the ways women's colleges can continue to champion social justice in the 21st-century. Women's colleges must update their identities and turn to partnerships with others—including community colleges and public universities, government agencies and community-based nonprofits, corporations and entrepreneurs, and K-12 educators—who care about the education of women and girls.
The lecture will take place from 3 to 4:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room of the Student Community Center. A reception and light refreshments will follow.
