The Panhellenic Council's "Week of the Woman" and the CPC Women's Coordinating Council have joined together to sponsor the event "Discovering the Truth About Beauty in Popular Culture."

Camille Cooper, a former actress and model, will deliver a presentation on Monday, Oct. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the University Center Auditorium.

Cooper will provide a look at the media and their obsessions with beauty and weight. She will use before-and-after slides that illustrate how editing such as retouching, lighting and camera filters, can change a person's appearance and cause a distorted image of beauty.

Cooper hopes women see the media's standards of beauty and how this fabrication should not be the basis of how women portray themselves.

The event is free and open to the public.
