MCC will honor Women\u2019s History Month in March with the theme of \u201cWomen\u2019s Health, Body, Mind and Spirit.\u201d The program will include workshops from motivational speaker Traciana Graves and a discussion of eating disorders from Stacey Prussman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to encourage a strong self-image for women through this program,\u201d said Patricia Daly, director of Student Activities at the College. \u201cSometimes students \u2013 particularly women \u2013 will have a negative self-image because they may feel they aren\u2019t the right weight, or don\u2019t look the right way, or don\u2019t dress the right way. This can lead to eating disorders or personal alienation from friends and family. The idea behind this month is to give them the confidence to say \u2018I\u2019m happy with who I am.\u2019 We want to empower women to stand up for themselves.\u201d Other than where noted, all programs are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
