The month of February is designated to acknowledge the achievements made by African American people throughout history.  To honor Black History Month, Each day, we will recognize a historic figure that has helped society for the better. Today’s person of the day is:
  • Madam C.J Walker was born on December 23, 1867. After suffering from a scalp ailment that resulted in her own hair loss, she invented a line of African American hair care products in 1905. Her business venture made her to be one of the first American women to become a self-made millionaire. 
For those of you who have been thinking about going to Ecuador this summer, now is the time to act! There are only FIVE spots left for this summer’s trip. There will be an informational meeting THIS FRIDAY at lunch in D214.
