Women’s History on the Poster

In celebration of Women’s History Month, three classes were assigned to research women’s contributions to society, and then students put this information on posters for all to see and learn from. Students from Art Appreciation, Botany Lab, and Organic Chemistry 2 were assigned to find either a woman in art or a woman in science to focus on. The result of the assignment was the boardrooms being full of posters created by students, and others eager to learn all about the influential women and concepts that affect women today. Dr. Anthony, who teaches Organic Chemistry 2, and Dr. Bergen-Losee, who teaches Botany Lab, assigned students to research women in the scientific world. Dr. Campion teaches Art Appreciation, and she assigned students to research women in the arts.
