F YI.  From a Hunter student. 
Anyways, I wanted to pass along information about a great conference going on at Hunter College next weekend. My roommate and I are involved with UNIFEM: United Nations Developing Fund for Women. The conference is titled: Strategic Imperatives for Ending Violence Against Women.  I think it would be a good opportunity for some students in the Pre-Health program. Would it be possible to pass the following email onto your pre-health list serve? I understand if it isn't something you normally do, just wanted to try to get the information out there! 

Best, 
Kara
