Hello everyone.

March is Women’s History Month. Events are planned throughout March to celebrate and acknowledge women’s achievements and contributions in our local, national, and international communities. I am sharing this information as a highlight and encourage you to use and share the Zoom/TEAMs backgrounds and participate in International Women’s Day on your social media presence.

Women’s History Month is planned and hosted by the Women’s Studies Institute. Communicators in your areas have received these graphics as well.

From International Women’s Day Website:

Imagine a gender equal world.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge women's equality.

Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.

We avoiding using them as “selfie cards” because of concerns about accessibility to read the image, but they make helpful captions.
