The University of Hartford recognizes Women’s History Month, which is celebrated every year in March. Women’s History Month is a time to acknowledge the achievements, resilience, and contributions of women throughout history but also within the UHart community. We celebrate the admirable women- students, faculty, staff, and alumni- who continue to advance equality and inspire change.
The theme for Women’s History Month this year is “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating and Inspiring Generations.” Throughout March, we encourage reflection, education, and engagement in programs that amplify women’s voices and stories. Together, we continue our commitment to fostering an inclusive community where everyone belongs.
