Ensler is the author of The Vagina Monologues and founder of V-Day, an organization committed to ending violence against women.

Her stop at Alma was part of a tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of V-Day, which culminated with "Superlove," a two-day rally at the Superdome in New Orleans.

Alma College students Becky Peacock, Hillary Bard, Ashley Hennen, Amy Rockafellow and Ruth Nardecchia attended the rally. Click here to read their reflections.

More than a third of all Alma students take part in at least one performance each year. The College offers majors in theatre, dance and music, but students of all majors may join in productions. The Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts is the region's premiere performing arts facility.

 

Graduate Profile

Shannon Garrett
Graduation: 1994
Major: Philosophy
Minor: Women’s Studies

Shannon Garrett was the first person to graduate from Alma with a women’s studies minor. Her interest in women’s issues stemmed from a freshman-year feminist philosophy course.

“The class was life-altering and legitimized the feelings of gender bias I’d experienced growing up,” the 1994 graduate says.
