THIS WEEK ON CAMPUS

Women’s achievements will be celebrated this week as part of the fifth annual UCLA Women for Change. Beginning today, the UCLA Clothesline Project will hang hundreds of T-shirts across Schoenberg Quad depicting stories of anguish, anger, isolation and humiliation caused by sexual or gender violence. Also today at noon at Schoenberg Plaza, there will be a discussion of the book “White Oleander” with author Janet Fitch. A student festival with performances and exhibits is set for May 12, beginning at 11 a.m. in Bruin Plaza. “Strong Women ... Big Sports” will highlight UCLA’s extraordinary women athletes on May 13 at 11 a.m. at the Los Angeles Tennis Center Clubhouse. The week of events wraps up May 15 with UCLA’s 8th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference. For details on these and other events, see www.women4change.ucla.edu.
