FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. – The division of student affairs invites students to sign up for the Women’s Empowerment Conference on Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7.

The event will be in the Arkansas Union. If you would like to apply you can find the application on Hogsync.

The event has a keynote speaker, Bree Newsome. She is best known for climbing a flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse and pulling down the confederate battle flag. The act was in protest against the racist symbolism.

When Newsome speaks she outlines the relationship between activism and art, along with captivating the audience with her descriptions and details.
