In accordance with this year's theme, "Women Taking the Lead in Saving the World," all students, faculty and staff were encouraged to nominate any Penn College female they admire. Nominators and their honorees then were invited to a Women's History Month Appreciationevent at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Professional Development Center's Mountain Laurel Room. Carolyn R.
