Women's education: It's not for you. It's for your future babies.

Education for women in Rexburg is not an end in itself--it is a tool for fulfilling one's divine destiny as a baby maker. 

Text from the article: 

A panel of four women discussing the importance of education was held Jun 9 in the MC Little Theatre. The theme of this panel was titled, "An Essence of the Divine is an Improvement of the Mind." This event was sponsored by the Women's Advisory Counsel [sic]. 

Four women gathered together to discuss the importance of women of furthering their education. 

The panel consisted of Kari Archibald, a member of the recreation management faculty; Sue Clark the first lady of BYU-Idaho; Robyn Bergstrom the Dean of College and Business of Communication; and Amy Hanks a member of the chemistry department faculty. Students had the option of either viewing this discussion in person in the MC Little Theatre, or they could watch live over the Internet via an Adobe Connect online meeting. 

The audience was asked to participate by either approaching a microphone located in the theatre or by submitting questions by e-mail. The panel encouraged women to further their education and continue becoming lifelong learners. Whether the learning is done formally or informally the panel encouraged students to keep learning in any form. 

"The greatest gift you can give to your baby is an education," Bergstrom said.
