Women's History Month

About

Women's History Month is observed in March each year, with the purpose of recognizing and reclaiming women's history and raising awareness. Students, staff, faculty and alumni participate in the Women's History Month (WHM) Planning Committee. The WHM Planning Committee typically meets starting each October and continues to meet through April.

Over the years, the Women's History Month Planning Committee has organized numbers events at St. Mary's University. Some examples include the Alice Wright Franzke Feminist Award Luncheon, a blessing of women at the University, presentations by students and faculty about related research, poetry readings, book club discussions, the Alma L. Lopez Woman in Law Student Leadership Award ceremony, student panel discussions, and more.

We welcome new faces and fresh energy! Please come and share your ideas. To join the Women's History Month planning discussion list, please send an e-mail to subscribe-whm_stmu@yahoogroups.com.
