The Division of Campus and Community Engagement is hosting its inaugural Women’s History Month Celebration on Wednesday, March 27, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Main Mall. The University-wide event honors the many women of The University of Texas at Austin who have made a positive impact here on campus and in the community.

This event will feature speakers, performances, women-owned local businesses and student organizations tabling with interactive activities. View the schedule of activities.
