Women's History Month

 

To celebrate Women’s History Month, every year in March, the Committee on Services and Resources for Women (CSRW) coordinates a series of events. These events are free and open to the public. These diverse programs have included lectures by nationally renowned scholars and authors, panel discussions of prominent women in the community, workshops by experts in various fields, and theatrical and musical performances, among others.
