  • Beginning at 11 a.m. on May 18, the public is invited to visit the Maynard Dixon Museum, 2200 State St., Mt. Carmel, Utah, to see the rare photos featured in the new book. Visitors can also enjoy lectures, live music and other activities throughout the day. A symposium and book signing with “The People” author, Carol Ormond, will take place at 1 p.m. at the Old Rock Church in Mt. Carmel.
  • A private Powell Expedition Anniversary Reception from 6 – 9 p.m. at the museum, will culminate the celebration and serve as the grand opening of “A New Perspective”, a new exhibit of 37 vibrant, original paintings by Robert Goldman highlighting important geographic landscapes of the Powell expedition.

How to Be a Bitch: (Re)framing the Realities of Women in Leadership is the name of a popular class during spring semester at Westminster College. Professors and co-instructors Dr. Tamara Stevenson and  Dr. Kim Zarkin stopped into talk about it (Re)framing the Realities of Women in Leadership: What does the media teach us about women (or gender) and leadership, aggression and behavior? What does interpersonal and organizational communication teach us? Why are words like "bitch" and "bossy" so interesting yet problematic? Are they a badge or a burden? RadioACTive unpacks Bitch and its related adjectives with Westminster College professors Dr. Tamara Stevenson and Dr. Kim Zarkin.
