Lillian Hall '83 will visit campus June 30 to discuss her decades-long work with ProNica, a Quaker organization supporting grassroots organization in Nicaragua.

As an international agriculture student at Cornell, Hall became involved in the student group CUSLAR (Committee on U.S.-Latin American Relations) in 1980, a year after the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship that had ruled the Central American nation for 45 years.

For the past 13 years, Hall has been the Nicaragua coordinator for ProNica, a Quaker organization that supports women's groups with a focus on sexual and reproductive health and domestic violence, promotes Alternatives to Violence Project workshops and helps groups working with children who live at the Managua garbage dump and in the capital, Managua. The organization also works with neighborhood and community libraries and supports agricultural projects in previously war-torn areas.

Hall's talk will take place at 7:30 p.m. at Burtt House, 227 Willard Way.
