This Women’s History Month, join us for the Wiki-Women’s edit-a-thon! We will be editing and creating articles on women, women of color, and particularly women in dance, literature, visual arts and music. The edit-a-thon is open to the entire Queens College community. Come and go as your schedule allows.

Co-sponsored by Queens College's Center for Teaching and Learning, Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance, Godwin-Ternback Museum, Queens College Music Library, Rosenthal Library, and Writing at Queens College, as well as Wikimedia NYC.
