Come join the Women's Resource Center, CSIL, and NASA for our presentation of the film:

"Turquoise Rose" with Guest Speaker Natasha Johnson

Nov. 18, 6 p.m., Gallagher Theater

A coming-of age-story that follows a Native American college student named Turquoise Rose as she begrudgingly forgoes a trip to Europe with her friends to return to the Navajo reservation and take care of her ailing grandmother. Through this experience, Turquoise comes to appreciate her Navajo heritage and ancestry. This film will be followed by a Q & A with the film's star, Natasha Johnson.
