The UALR Gender Studies program is hosting a walk-a-thon from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Big Dam Bridge in Little Rock. Registration for the walk is $5.

 “Donations will be accepted at the event to support our program and bring in guest speakers,” said Shannon Avra, interim coordinator of the Gender Studies program.

 
Gender Studies is an 18-hour interdisciplinary minor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. The minor is designed to help students understand and define the changing roles of women and men brought about by social, economic, political, legal, and other changes in society.
