A question and answer period will be included. The seminar will run 7 to 10 p.m. and tuition is $30, plus a $25 materials fee.

"You've come a long way, baby," is more than a timeworn advertising slogan. This statement defines the history of women in the advertising industry. Women's struggle to break into this highly creative field is the topic of "Women in Advertising," a three-session survey taught by Dr. Simone W. Davis, author of Living Up to the Ads: Gender Fictions in the 1920s. The class is scheduled for Mondays, April 8, 16, and 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuition is $60.

This seminar will be presented by Lizbeth Lindley, MBA, an investment representative with more than 14 years of experience as a foreign exchange trader, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 11. Tuition is $30.
