As the first public college for women, The W takes Women’s History Month seriously. The CWRPP collaborates with departments across campus and with community partners to ensure a full month of programming every year. Women’s History Month is a time to encourage and to shine a light on women’s previously uncelebrated history, a time to reflect on women’s roles and contributions to society.
