A Morning at the Newseum: Exploring the Free Flow of Information
How do you access news? Through Facebook, Twitter, newspapers, television, websites? As women in America, we have come to rely on our ability to access information freely, quickly, and without censure. This is not the case for much of the world. This Pre-Conference session will explore the free flow of information at the highly interactive Newseum.
A chartered bus will take participants from the University of Maryland to downtown Washington DC to explore issues of censorship and information sharing. Participants will also have an opportunity to engage with the other exhibits available at the Newseum, which boasts unmatched views of the capitol skyline. (40 participants max)
A Morning on Capitol Hill: Women and Politics
This Pre-Conference session will explore the world of women and politics at the United States Capitol. Through a discussion with female Hill staffers, participants will hear about current legislative issues of the day and the staffersÂ’ own successful career paths. Participants will also have an opportunity to tour the Capitol building itself. A chartered bus will take participants from the University of Maryland to downtown Washington DC. (40 participant limit)
