The series is sponsored by the Women's Center and Women's Commission. It began in 2003 as a forum for women to talk about their experiences in leadership positions and the importance of mentors.
Robideaux will discuss her impoverished childhood in Louisiana and her intense desire to escape the limitations that a lack of education can impose. She will include brief readings from a book she co-wrote, My Mam's Waltz.
Robideaux's talk will begin at noon in room 250 of the Kirkhof Center. Participants are encouraged to bring their lunches.
The Her Story series will continue on October 19 with a presentation from Maribeth Wardrop, vice president for University Development.
