Nominations accepted for University’s International Women’s Day observance

UNC Charlotte’s 11th annual recognition of International Women’s Day (IWD) will be 3:30 to 5 p.m., Thursday, March 31, in the Student Union, Room 340.

International Women’s Day is recognized by the United Nations on March 8 and celebrated in various countries around the world. It is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. The UNC Charlotte campus community has celebrated IWD since 2006.

This annual event includes historical information and recognition of faculty, staff and students who have been nominated for their impact on the lives of women locally and globally.

Information on how to nominate an individual for UNC Charlotte’s International Women’s Day observance is on the Web. The deadline for nominations is Tuesday, March 15 (Note, the deadline has been extended from previous reports).

The Office of International Programs and the Multicultural Resource Center cosponsor the University’s International Women’s Day observance, which is open to the campus community.
