The show was inspired by the Southeastern Women Coalition’s celebration of March as Women’s History Month.       Segments include June Mumme, wife of Southeastern head football coach Hal Mumme, who talks candidly about her battle with breast cancer and how her experience is helping save lives; State Rep. Diane Winston’s report on the status of Louisiana women; and critically acclaimed author Olympia Vernon, a Southeastern graduate, who explains the surprising twist that propelled her from a criminal justice major to a writer sought after by two New York publishing giants.        It also includes Louisiana’s Ghost Stories, a series of dramatic monologues written and performed by Southeastern students and faculty.       For additional information, contact the Southeastern Public Information Office or Southeastern Channel at 985-549-2418.
