BY ELLE CREEDON
Issue date: 9/29/08 Section: Student Life
Programs and contests
sponsored by the Women's
Center this fall are aimed at
involving students and
women to "Take the Lead to
Save the Planet."
Natalie Kaye, women's center
programming coordinator,
begins the school year
celebrating the center's sixth
year of operation.
Bucks has initiated another
student contest sponsored by
both the Women's Center,
department of Language and
Literature and Department of
the Arts.
"We have many new and
exciting events this year, as
well as the contest we are
sponsoring," said Kaye.
The purpose of the
Women's Center is to address
issues concerning women as
well as support women's
achievement. The center provides
information about
women making a difference
in various fields, but is also
open to men.
Kaye explained the importance
of the Women's Center.
"I feel it is important for
young women to understand
their history, because you
need to understand how you
got to where you are today."
The contest's theme is entitled
"Women: Taking the
Lead to Save the Planet,"
which is part of 2009's
National Women's History
Project. The contest is open
to all students and a firstprize
winner will be picked
from three categories; written,
art and performance.
The first prize winner from
each category will be awarded
a $150 grand prize, along
with their work being displayed
in the library.
All contestants will have
their work displayed on the
Bucks website along with the
winners.
The judges will be picked
from various departments of
the college. Anyone interested
in participating is asked to
visit the Women's Center
located in the Student Life
Information Center, as well as
speaking with Kaye.
All interested students are
required to schedule a time to
drop off their work.
Kaye plans events on things
she sees while she is out and
uses her mind to creatively
relate them to the college and
its students. "I love what I
do. If I can touch, move and
inspire somebody than I feel
like I have done my job," said
Kaye.
Kaye is available in the
Women's Center on
Wednesdays and Thursdays
from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Or,
call (215) 968-8015 or email
her at kayen@Bucks.edu.
