Join us for Women’s Week 2026, a week-long celebration honoring the voices, leadership and contributions of women across our campus and community.
This year’s theme, “In Full Bloom: Rooted in Community," was selected to represent our campus community, recognizing that each of us is growing and blooming in our own ways and that we flourish most when we’re grounded in one another.
This week-long celebration began in 1990 as a means to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women across our university and beyond.
Today, Women’s Week is hosted through the university’s Center for Community and Cultural Engagement with committee members drawn from all corners of campus. Women’s Week events are open to everyone and offer meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, reflect and celebrate.
