The event is FREE (although there is a $10 suggested donation--all proceeds will go to the Young Womens' Charter School here on the South Side) and will be tons of fun: Food, cocktails, music, and of course our keynote speaker, Janet Rowley, should all ensure a fabulous time for all.

FACULTY NOMINATIONS--If there are faculty that you would like us to mail invititations to (professors, hospital, lab staff, etc.) please send their names, emails, addresses and your relation to Keren at keren@uchicago.edu BY FRIDAY.
