Status of Women and Girls

I'm very excited about attending this! Will report back! MSMC is my alma mater!

In the Spotlight

Mount St. Mary's to release annual Report on Status of Women & Girls in California, March 21

As part of Mount St. Mary’s continuing commitment to the well-being of women, the College will release its second annual Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California, on March 21. The Report is a compilation of the most up-to-date, existing research that explores key areas crucial to the advancement of women.
“As a college for women of the 21st century, we have an inherent interest in the forces that shape women’s lives,” says Mount St. Mary’s President Ann McElaney-Johnson. “Despite some high-profile advances, this Report shows that striking gender gaps still exist, particularly among women of color.”
The Mount will release the Report to the public during a free event from 10 a.m.-noon on Thursday, March 21, at the College’s downtown Doheny Campus. Attendees will be the first to hear about the 2013 Report’s findings and recommendations on a dozen key issues affecting the lives of California’s women and children, including: education, employment, leadership, poverty, health, violence, media and more.
To RSVP, visit http://statusofwomen.msmc.la.edu.
Among the day’s scheduled speakers and panelists are Geena Davis, Academy Award®-winning actress and founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media; Madeleine Brand, of SoCal Connected; Elise Buik, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Los Angeles; Kathy Magliato, cardiothoracic surgeon and director of Women’s Cardiac Surgical Services at Saint John’s Health Center; and Janice Bryant Howroyd, CEO and founder of the Act-1 Group.
“This groundbreaking report has been instrumental to the work of the [California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls],” says Davis, who also serves as chair of the Commission. “It is an invaluable tool for educators, legislators and advocates working to improve the lives of women and girls. We are proud to partner once again with Mount St. Mary’s College to share the latest findings from the 2013 Report.”
Why compile and create an annual Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California? Because there are more than 18.9 million women and girls in the state who are striving to create a better life for themselves and their families. Yet too many California women lack a seat at the table when political and business decisions are made. Too many women work in the same fields as men but still bring home less money than their counterparts. There are too few women role models in the media that young girls can watch and emulate. And, far too often, violence continues to silence women’s voices and blocks women’s dreams.
As the 2013 Report's overview states: “It is the mission of [our College’s founders] the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet to support women to become all they are capable of being. That is only possible when women and girls are provided equal opportunity to pursue all they are capable of being.”
In creating this year's Report, a Mount St. Mary’s team of academics identified the largest gender-based gaps, and highlighted the statistics that have changed the most since last year. There is both progress to cheer and progress to be made, as a sampling of key findings show:

Women and girls remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math careers.
The pay gap between working women and men in California is real.
2013 marks a historic year for the number of women in the U.S. Congress, but California women lost ground in political leadership roles at the state level.
More than two out of every five women and girls in California have been victims of intimate partner violence.
Access to healthcare continues to rise and infant mortality rates drop to historic lows.
In a media-rich state, the role of women in media remains far too limited.

Mount St. Mary’s College publishes this annual Report with the hope that illuminating the conditions faced by the women and girls of California will inspire efforts to address the difficulties and inequalities that they face.
“As we mentor and prepare the next generation of leaders,” McElaney-Johnson says, “we must empower them to fill in these gaps, and give them the tools they need to think deeply and critically, to understand collaboration with people from a diversity of backgrounds, and to be fearless in the face of change.”

Here is the translation, which is from the Irish as well as Breton.

http://lyricstranslate.com/en/brian-boru-brian-boru.html

This information about the six Celtic nations is from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_nations:

The six territories recognized as Celtic nations are Brittany (Breizh), Cornwall (Kernow), Ireland (Éire), the Isle of Man (Mannin), Scotland (Alba), and Wales (Cymru).^[1]^[2] Each of these regions has a Celtic language that is either still spoken or was spoken into modern times.^[3] In addition, areas of north-western Spain and Portugal, particularly Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias and Minho, Douro, Tras-os-Montes (Northern Portugal) are oftentimes identified as Celtic, due to the unique culture of the region. Unlike the others, however, no Celtic language has been spoken there in modern times.^[4]^[5]^[6] Before the expansions of the Roman Republic and Germanic tribes, a significant part of Europe was Celtic.^[7]

Black History Month: Levar Burton


Levar Burton, actor, director, producer.

Kunte Kinte

Levar Burton is a serious and talented person. We remember Kunte Kinte very well; what an impact. The point being, we remember Kunte Kinte--not that he was played by a young college student from USC. He was that good in the role.

Geordi La Forge--The Next Generation

The Star Trek blockbuster The Next Generation, both television and movies, had a deeply developed Geordi LaForge. Burton's character was a brilliant engineer yet vulnerable young man. I do believe the writing and performance of this sci fi series has always been greatly underestimated. Try the episode with fellow engineer Leah Brahms (Booby Trap.) There are so many more. Burton also directed many Star Trek episodes.

Then, of course there is Reading Rainbow and its regeneration in ed tech apps. At RRKIDZ, Burton serves as Co-Founder and Curator-in-Chief, ensuring that the projects produced under the banner meet the high expectations and trust of the Reading Rainbow brand.

Reading Rainbow and IPad.

Growing up in a military family, Levar almost chose to be a Catholic priest (I can identify with that since I came very close to being a Benedictine nun.) Maybe that has influenced his thoughtful and excellent way of living before the public. Not since Bill Cosby have we had such an excellent role model.

Last year at Comicon I had the chance for a conversation with Levar Burton at the Star Trek location while getting an autograph for myself and my daughter. He is such a nice gentleman. It was a privilege. At the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, my daughter got a picture with him, requesting a 'Community' type pose (she emulated Troy's freaked out expression.) He cooperated in good humor.
