International Women's Day 2008 will see the return of several young successful alumnae to Mount Allison University campus on March 8. Mount Allison is known as a Canadian leader in women's education, as the first university to confer a bachelor's degree to a woman in the British Commonwealth, Grace Annie Lockhart in 1875.

The University will celebrate its rich past in women's education and some of its recent graduates and current women's studies students during a panel discussion in Crabtree Auditorium on March 8 between 2 and 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no admission charge.

A reception will follow the panel discussion at the President's Cottage (University Club), beginning at 6 p.m. and will mark the official launch of the online publication, We Were Here: Exploratory Essays on Women's History at Mount Allison University. (www.mta.ca/wewerehere). Everyone is welcome to attend these events and there is no admission charge.
