*Canceled* Advocating for Women’s Rights on Social Issues: A Conversation with Alumnae Vickie
Eslinger and Malissa Burnette
November
Platform TBD
UofSC Law School alumnae Malissa Burnette and Vickie Eslinger were mavericks during
their time at the University and are still today. In the early 1970s, both women advocated
for women on campus to have access to information about reproductive health options,
especially those who were raped. Today, they are both attorneys who practice in many
areas of the law including labor issues, as well as domestic relations. They will
speak about their time at UofSC and how they changed the culture of the campus to
support women.
