Women’s History Month
This March, we are celebrating Women’s History Month with the national theme ‘Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations’. This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations – both past and present.
To nominate a woman who inspires you in your life or an individual who inspires you click here.
We have lots of events and activities planned to celebrate this month – SUSU supports all those who identify as women this Women’s History Month and beyond, with all our events being inclusive to all. Take a look below at everything you can get involved with!
