Commencement

Smashing the Scale
The Body Project held a scale smashing event early in December. A great way to show a person鈥檚 body isn鈥檛 just a number. The event was part of Body Acceptance Week.
Women's Basketball vs North Dakota State
Eleven three-point shots helped women鈥檚 basketball climb over NDSU鈥檚 Bison 70-64. The Braves are 11-2 overall and undefeated in conference play. On Tuesday, the NCAA named them the Team of the Week!
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP: LORI LIGHTFOOT
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot brought a message of integrity, equity and inclusion at the Peoria Women in Leadership luncheon held at Bradley. 鈥淓very day I wake up with admission on my mind, for young women, and people of color, but none of us can do them alone. Accomplishing this task requires each of us to step up further and ask ourselves, what more can I do?鈥�
