Women’s History Month 2014 got off to a great start at Eastern Michigan University, beginning with two events that were similar in structure, but which differed heavily in perspective. The first event, held on Monday, March 3, was a screening of a portion of the film “Half the Sky,” followed by a panel discussion.

Tightropes, clowns and magicians were featured at Minority Women in Leadership’s third annual Hair Show on Monday in the Student Center Ballroom. The student organization recruited the top hair stylists from the Eastern Michigan University student body to show off their skills in the show. The theme was the circus, and each stylist was critiqued on creativity, make-up and the overall performance. The creativity and enthusiasm of the models helped to bring the stylist’s hair designs to life.

The panel lasted for almost two hours and a variety of topics were discussed during the discussion.
