BWA to honor students,

faculty, community member
The spotlight will shine on 17 outstanding men at the Black Women of Achievement Ebony Man Showcase, “Beside Every Strong Man There is a Strong Woman,” at 8 p.m. today in the EMU Fir Room.
According to BWA Director Kim Jones, the men — 14 University students, two faculty members and one community member — are being honored for their positive contributions through conduct, character and activities.
This year’s program is different from events in years past because it is strictly focused on the awards rather than auctions to raise money. Jones said this year, fundraising for groups was not as much of a focus.
During the ceremony, the men will be interviewed on stage and they will have the opportunity to showcase their talents for the audience.
Camille Gilmore of Alpha Kappa Alpha is slated to speak on the show’s theme of honoring men and women.
The dinner and event are free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to dress semi-formal.
For more information, call BWA at 346-3735.
