 Hammes Gallery: Video installation and photography by Robert Derr
Robert Ladislas Derr holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and is currently an Assistant Professor at Ohio State University. Robert uses photography, video, performance, and installation as he puts himself literally in the center of a barrage of questions about life and making art. He has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, and his work was featured in ASPECT: The Chronicle of New Media Art, with commentary by Bill Arning, curator of MIT’s List Visual Arts Center.
 Little Theatre Gallery: Paintings by Cara Erskine
Cara Erskine received her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University, and after a few years in New York City, she relocated to Pittsburgh, PA to teach and continue her studio practice. Cara teaches a range of courses at both Carnegie Mellon and Robert Morris University: Painting; Concept Studio II-Time and Space; Color Theory; Printmaking; and Drawing. ”Light, storms, and the expansive landscape” are a continual source of inspiration for her paintings.
 Sister Rosaire Gallery: Drawings by Katrine Hildebrandt
After receiving her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art, Katrine Hildebrandt moved to Portland, Maine, and actively exhibits nationally in solo and group exhibitions, and as a part of “The Pine Haven Collective.” Using symbols from information visualization in combination with her quirky, gestural drawing style, Katrine’s mixed media drawings and installations investigate these systems through a philosophical lens.

Nicholas Kristof,
co-author of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide
February 8, 7 p.m. - Little Theatre
NOTE: Due to large ticket demand, this event has moved from Little Theatre to O'Laughlin Auditorium. Tickets issued for Little Theatre will be honored in O'Laughlin Auditorium. Seating is general admission.
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide lays out an agenda for the world's women and three major abuses: sex trafficking and forced prostitution; gender-based violence including honor killings and mass rape; maternal mortality, which needlessly claims one woman a minute. We know there are many worthy causes competing for attention in the world. We focus on this one because this kind of oppression feels transcendent – and so does the opportunity. Outsiders can truly make a difference.
Nicholas D. Kristof writes op-ed columns that appear twice each week in The New York Times. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, he previously was associate managing editor of The Times, responsible for the Sunday Times.
Mr. Kristof grew up on a sheep and cherry farm near Yamhill, Oregon. He graduated from Harvard College and then studied law at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. He later studied Arabic in Cairo and Chinese in Taipei. After working in France, he caught the travel bug and began backpacking around Africa and Asia, writing articles to cover his expenses. Mr. Kristof has lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to 140 countries, plus all 50 states, every Chinese province and every main Japanese island. He's also one of the very few Americans to be at least a two-time visitor to every member of the Axis of Evil. During his travels, he has had unpleasant experiences with wars, malaria, mobs carrying heads on pikes, and an African airplane crash.
 After joining The New York Times in 1984, initially covering economics, he served as a Times correspondent in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo. In 2000, he covered the presidential campaign and in particular Governor Bush, and he is the author of the chapter on Mr. Bush in the reference book The Presidents.
In 1990 Mr. Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, also a Times journalist, won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of China's Tiananmen Square democracy movement. They were the first married couple to win a Pulitzer for journalism. Mr. Kristof won a second Pulitzer in 2006, for commentary for what the judges called "his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur and that gave voice to the voiceless in other parts of the world." He has also won other prizes including the George Polk Award, the Overseas Press Club award, the Michael Kelly award, the Online News Association award and the American Society of Newspaper Editors award. Mr. Kristof has taken a special interest in Web journalism and was the first blogger on The New York Times Web site.
In his column, Mr. Kristof was an early opponent of the Iraq war and among the first to warn that we were losing ground to the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. His columns have often focused on global health, poverty and gender issues in the developing world. In particular, since 2004 he has written dozens of columns about Darfur and has visited the surrounding area 10 times.
Mr. Kristof and Ms. WuDunn are authors of China Wakes: The Struggle for the Soul of a Rising Power and Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia. Mr. Kristof and Ms. WuDunn are the parents of Gregory, Geoffrey and Caroline. Mr. Kristof enjoys running, backpacking, and having his Chinese and Japanese corrected by his children.
This event is co-sponsored by the President's Office and the Center for Women's Intercultural Leadership (CWIL).
Admission is free. Tickets are required.
