Trip Report

The homework assignment to celebrate International Women's Day was to select a woman Nobel laureate in any field and educate the rest of us about her. It was really interesting to learn about honored women in various fields including the peace prize (3), literature, and biology. Notable local women were also acknowledged. We started at the Nobel Peace monument in Alton Baker Park and then meandered through the university and returned along the river path.
