The poster-women for Kansas University’s 2015-16 Women of Distinction calendar have been announced and will be recognized at a reception on Monday.

KU’s Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity produces the poster-style calendars featuring KU students, faculty, staff, administrators and alumnae who have distinguished achievements in their efforts at the university or in their communities.

A reception is planned from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday at the ballroom in the Kansas Union, 1301 Jayhawk Blvd. The public is welcome to attend.

The Women of Distinction calendars are free (though donations are accepted) and available at several locations including the KU Bookstore, Jayhawk Ink and the Emily Taylor Center, 4024 Wescoe Hall.
