Good evening everyone,

I'm passing along a message from a Barnard Alumni club member about a documentary screening that may be of interest. Please see the details below.

Hope to see you there!

On Thursday, March 8 at 7pm, the Philadelphia Outward Bound School (POBS) will host a free public screening of the film Women Outward Bound, an award winning documentary of the first all-female Outward Bound expedition in the US in 1965, and the participants' reunion nearly 50 years later. Directed by Maxine Davis, one of students from this life-changing and game-changing course, the film will screen at WHYY Studios in Philadelphia in honor of Women's History Month and POBS' 25th Anniversary. 

After the screening, there will be a panel discussion with Maxine Davis (director and course participant), Katie Newsom Pastuszek (POBS' 20-year Executive Director), a student alumna of POBS programs, among others in the field of youth development. Women Outward Bound presents an ideal opportunity to engage the community in meaningful dialogue about empowering young women to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Free tickets for Women Outward Bound may be reserved at bit.ly/womenoutwardbound. If you’re unable to make the screening, please mark your calendars for March 22 at 10pm, when WHYY-TV will broadcast Women Outward Bound.

Will you please share this information with your members? I hope to see you there!

Regards,
