However, knowing how women have shaped history helps females today want to contribute in the present, according to the National Women's History Project. History must tell the whole story, its Web site states, and knowing women's strengths is crucial to all children and adults. Educators are often willing and will encourage the history of women to be taught in classrooms. However, teachers fre- quently lack the resources, according to the Web site. Stevens said students can learn more about w6men who influenced America and the world while attending events this week. Tonight, the Native American trio Ulali will sing at the Performance Hall. Stevens said although the three women are from the United States^ seeing the concert would still give student the opportunity to see women of another culture. Students get in free with USU ID. Thursday's events will take place at the International Student Lounge from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Both women and men can "Speak Out" for women during an open microphone session and can watch a movie about how women are rebuilding Rwanda. Music and dance will be performed by survivors of violence, and later that night, Alphi Chi will be helping with a women's expo that will include eight sessions on womenrelated topics including personal safety, health, relaxation, money management and identity theft.
