Women's History Month is a time to reflect on every woman of the past, present, and future who has made an impact on the world around us. These women may be in our own lives, from history, or from the world today. For this Cultural Mosaic, we will pause to honor and celebrate the contributions of these women and in doing so continue to build a world that nurtures a sense of purpose and belonging.
If you have additional opportunities or events that are relevant to the celebration of Women's History Month to share, please send them to tledcomms@austincc.edu.
