Upcoming meetings were discussed.

A panel discussion on "Sexual Harassment in the Electronic Age" will be presented in Room 212 of the Stewart Center on March 21. The discussion will cover how sexual harassment is defined in an electronic context, how to avoid being harassed on the computer, where to go on campus for assistance if you are harassed, and existing policies at Purdue to more effectively address electronic harassment. It would be great if someone could attend this discussion and talk about it at the next meeting.

Dr. Shirley M. Malcom will present a seminar on "Women in Science and Engineering Making Their Way and Making a Diffference" on March 18.

Dan MacIsaac will be our guest speaker at our next regular meeting.

After our agenda was completed we concluded with strawberries, cookies, and discussion.

Natasha Bralts took the minutes.
