There are quite a few events of interest going on around Central Michigan University that the Clarke Historical Library would like to remind you about.
First, this weekend is the 24th Annual Pow wow, being held in McGuirk arena (located in the Central Michigan University Events Center). For more information, visit the CMU Office of Institutional Diversity webpage with information about the
Celebrating Life Pow wow.
Second, the 11th seeded CMU Women's Basketball team will compete against 6th seeded Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday, March 23 at 11:10 am. The game, played in Columbus, Ohio, will be broadcast on ESPN2. Three weeks ago, the Clarke featured an image of the 1908 women's basketball squad on the
CMU Libraries picture of the week page and in a previous
Clarke News and Notes posting. Fire up, CMU!
Finally, Monday, March 25, the second event in the Spring 2013 Clarke Historical Library Speaker Series will take place at 7:00 pm in the Park Library Auditorium. A panel discussion featuring Mike Grass, Hank Meijer, and
