Women's History Month is celebrated annually during the month of March to highlight and celebrate the contributions of women to events in history, culture, and contemporary society. The original celebration of Women's History Month originated in Sonoma, California in 1978. International Women's Day is also held in March and is celebrated across the world. International Women's Day is observed on Sunday, March 8, 2026. The campus community is invited to join us for one or more Women's History Month events.
