This year the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which
extended the vote to women.
The History and Arts Departments have worked together to create a celebration of this historical moment through a showcase consisting of the National Archive “Rightfully Hers” popup and the Smithsonian “Because of Her Story” poster exhibits. The display is located in the Dunagan Library foyer.
Don’t forget to visit the “Suffrage Movement” display case presented by the History Department. To view the “Suffrage Movement” display visit the lobby of the Mesa Building (southside as you enter the front of the building).
