Women of Arts! Join us, and three inspiring Arts women, this Wednesday to discuss the Syrian refugee crisis

[Shannon Dea]

Dear colleagues,

this Wednesday is the first W3 of this academic year. W3 (Waterloo Women's
Wednesdays) is a monthly event for UW grad students, post-docs, staff and
faculty who identify as women.

This month, three Arts women --- Andrea Charette from the Dean's Office,
Jasmin Habib from Political Science, and Lamees Al Ethari from English ---
will join us for a discussion about the Syrian refugee crisis. What are the
causes? What can we do?

The event runs 4-6 at the Grad House. Please send the embedded message
below for more details:

Dear colleagues,

I am writing to let you know about W3. W3 (Waterloo Women's Wednesdays) is
> a monthly gathering of woman-identified* grad students, post-docs, staff
> and faculty.



We (usually) meet the last Wednesday of each month, 4-6 p.m., at the Grad
> House. Typically, the first hour is devoted to informal mingling, while the
> second hour focuses on programming by and for UW women. Attend one, or
> attend them all. Join us for 20 minutes or two hours. We want W3 to work
> for you!

Here is our Fall 2015 line-up:
>
>    - September 30, a roundtable of staff and faculty will discuss the
>    Syrian refugee crisis --- What are the causes? What can we do to help?
>
>
>    - October 28 will be our official welcome event. Bring your new
>    colleagues and enjoy free refreshments and great conversation!
