March is Women's History Month!

Thu, 01 Mar 2018 11:37:35 -0500

Celebrate Women's History Month with these great events happening throughout March!

In 1987 the US Congress designated March as National Women’s History Month. This creates a special opportunity in our schools, our workplaces, and our communities to recognize and celebrate the often-overlooked achievements of American women. Each year there is a special theme designated by the National Women's History Project. This year's theme is is "Nevertheless She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms

of Discrimination Against Women."

For a list of all the campus events, download the calendar below. Follow the Women's Center on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates throughout the month.
