The reason to do this is because there are a lot of women that made important changes and advances in fields such as science, art, philosophy, education, etc., and they are not always well known.

<br>We encourage you to apply for funds - especially in collaboration with other students or student groups. Proposals may address a specific constituency such as families; they may cross departments or focus within a discipline; they may target several residence halls, or a variety of student groups. Their purpose should be to explore the role and relevance of community in creating a more balanced and fulfilling graduate experience.<br>

Or perhaps you took a few positive steps only to slide frustratingly back to square one? Overcoming Immunity to Change provides a powerful methodology to help individuals and teams get “unstuck” and finally make lasting progress on goals that matter to them. It is a process that leads people to a clear understanding of why they do what they do, and how their underlying patterns of thinking keep them from progress even when they seem committed to action. Participants come to the Overcoming Immunity to Change workshop with a particular personal goal in mind and focus on that goal throughout the workshop. By the end of the process, they have a clear handle on how they get in their own way, and practical tools to help them step aside. The process can be used with individuals and with teams to achieve breakthrough change.</span></p>

<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">This panel discussion, part of Boston Charter Day 2012, will explore the special role of women in creating and sustaining community in early Massachusetts. Women had fingers in many pots in the decades after Boston’s founding. Even as they helped to bring food to the table, women nourished kin and neighbors in other ways: as educators, caregivers, and models of piety. In this way, ordinary women were “authors” of community in their homes, their neighborhoods, and their congregations. Panelists will consider how individual women navigated the tensions that surrounded their important and visible place in community life.</font></p>
