In the Fall of 2008, the Office for Women's Affairs revived its "Lunchtime Discussion Series", a compendium of presentations designed to give staff and faculty women a chance to get out of the office, network, and learn about important issues that effect many among them. The first two presentations focused on the needs of those who served as primary caregivers to elderly loved ones, while the third provided ways to use free internet tools to manage healthy eating habits.

The 2009-2010 Lunchtime Discussion Series will begin on Wednesday, September 16th. The session "Working with Grace in a Challenging Place: Resolving Workplace Issues" will be held from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.

If you were unable to attend "Caring for the Caregiver", "Advanced Directives", or "Journaling for Health" and would like to contact the presenters or receive some of the distributed materials, please contact Brandi at owa@indiana.edu.
