Rutgers women's basketball coach Stringer was invited as part of Women's History Month. The First Lady has spent the day visiting schools "throughout the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia region to talk to high school students about setting career goals."
Stringer will join actors Kerry Washington, Alfre Woodard and Phylicia Rashad for the evening portion of the day, a dinner which will include several young men and women from the area schools. Others in attendance for the special event are recording artists Cheryl Crow and Alicia Keys, Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes and basketball great Lisa Leslie, Dr. Mae Jemison, the first women of color to go into space, Ambassador Nancy Brinker, who helped to found Susan G Komen for the Cure, and Bobbi Brown, make-up maven and Montvale, N.J., resident join in the festivities.
Coach Stringer's Rutgers team will play Saturday in the NCAA Women's basketball tournament at 2:30 p.m. at the RAC.
