Are You Ready for the Best Night Ever?
In honor of Barbie’s 65th celebration, and in collaboration with Student Centers and Activities for our annual Geek Week, we are hosting Barbie Night at the Honors College! In this interdisciplinary experience, we’ll have four guest faculty speakers presenting on topics surrounding Barbie—from linguistic breakdowns of monologues from the Barbie movie to Barbie’s history through the lens of a Black feminist. You can also watch Barbie on the big screen, participate in fun activities like creating your own doll, win fun giveaways, and more! Join us on Wednesday, March 20, 7:00pm for the full Barbie Night experience at the Honors College!
For one night only, experience the Honors College: Dreamhouse Edition!
P.S. This event is open to ALL Rutgers students, faculty, and staff. P.P.S. Don't forget to wear pink!
