March is Women's History Month!

Check out our calendar of events for 2018!

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.
