Drop by and join us to celebrate International Women's Day. This year, the theme is Inspire Inclusion. Let’s forge a better world when we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion.
We have organized live music, refreshments and some small gifts for you. See you at 12:00 p.m. in front of the Campus Library.
Let's take time on this International Women's Day to reflect on how we can promote inclusion in our communities and workplaces. Join us for a casual panel discussion and Q&A session.
