TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Students, staff, and members of the Troy community gathered to recognize Women’s History Month during “Beauty and the Mind: A Discussion of Perceptions of Beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A panel off four women, each a Troy faculty member, led the discussion and presented different perspectives on beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t think beauty is something just decorative or passive,” said panel member and Art and Design Lecturer Beverly Leach. “It’s the content of our actions, the content of our words.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to organizers, the panel aimed to uplift faculty, and students by giving them a better understanding of gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m hoping students feel inspired and, hopefully, they have conversation and dialogue among themselves about how gender is something that is a construct of culture and society and then it goes back to strength and self-confidence,” Leach explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her lecture, Leach explained how society plays a major role in beauty trends. She also urged women who lack beauty-related confidence to start within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think having self-confidence in your inner strength and your self-worth,” Leach said. “Maybe a daily affirmation of ‘Yeah. I’m on this, I got this.’ Just the power of positive thinking.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several students and faculty members were there for the discussion. One man said his appreciation for International Women’s Day comes from his grandmother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I came to this country from a refugee camp at the age of seven from Czechoslovakia,” said Assistant Professor David Chroust. “When I was growing up, my grandmother would send my mother a a greeting card celebrating International Women’s Day in Czech.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although International Women’s Day may be over, organizers hope the public’s appreciation for women extends throughout the entire year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
