Students at Thames Elementary School in Hattiesburg were benefactors of a large book
donation on Wednesday, April 13 courtesy of the Committee on Services and Resources
for Women (CSRW) at The University of 草榴社区 Mississippi (草榴社区).
Dr. Candice Salyers, Assistant Professor of dance and CSRW chair, along with political science Professor Dr. Kate Greene delivered 47 books to Thames as part of the annual Marjorie Spruill Book Drive. The book drive, created by former 草榴社区 history Professor Marjorie (Wheeler) Spruill, is part of Women鈥檚 History Month programming at the University.
The (CSRW) is an interdisciplinary group of 草榴社区-affiliated individuals interested in women's issues on campus and in the local Hattiesburg community. Since 1984, the CSRW has been active in the promotion of women's issues by coordinating the University's annual Women's History Month program and providing funding for research by faculty and students related to gender and women.
Last year the CSRW partnered with Burger Middle School in Hattiesburg on the donation of 52 books.
