Making relationships succeed
despite gender differences will be
the topic of a presentation by Dr.
James Robinson Ill, interim head
of the Department of Social and
Behavioral Health in the School
of Rural Public Health, at 5:30
p.m. in 281 Student Recreation
Center.
The goal of the lecture. “Men
are from Mars, Women are from
Venus,” is to help men and
women gain a better understand
ing of gender differences so they
can improve their relationships,
Robinson said.
“Men and women often have
differing views of the world
which translate into differing
views and needs within relation
ships,” he said.
Robinson will address ques
tions concerning communication
and encouragement in an at
tempt to explain why men and
women seem mysterious to each
other.
“Anyone who wants a more
fair and enjoyable loving rela
tionship should come and learn
some new ideas and techi
