Women’s HERstory Month Celebration

March is Women's History Month, or as it should be called, Women's HERstory Month. CSU has a slew of activities and events planned. This week, CSU's Women's Center is hosting an event, March 8, to celebrate International Women’s Day. It's in BH 142 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and conversations will focus on women's tremendous social, economic, political and cultural achievements the month celebrates. The center also hopes to raise awareness on gender inequality, women’s rights and more. Food will be provided.

International Women’s Day Kick-A** Boxing Class 

Also on March 8, CSU’s Society of Intersectional Feminists is partnering with Pink Gloves Boxing to provide a free boxing lesson in honor of Women’s HERstory Month. The event will run from noon to 2 p.m. in the Student Center Atrium. Along with the boxing class, there will also be conversations about femininity and the social constructs surrounding it. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Cleveland State Spring Dance Concerts 

Cleveland State’s annual Spring Dance Concert will be held at Playhouse Square from Friday, March 10 through Sunday, March 12. The concert will feature performances from CSU Dance Company, CSU Dance Group and GroundWorks DanceTheater. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on Playhouse Square’s website.

And finally, the Cleveland Charge are hosting their first Hoops and Hounds night, this Friday, March 10. Tickets are $5 for dogs and $10 for humans.
