International Women's Day
March 8 marks International Women's Day, a global observance that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
For 2024, let's Inspire Inclusion. To truly include women and those identifying in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, means to openly embrace diversity of race, age, ability, faith, body image, and how they identify.
A message from President Goel on International Women's Day
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a celebration of the achievements of women. It is an opportunity to recognize the exceptional women faculty, students and staff at our institution. Today also serves as a reminder of the work we still need to do to accelerate equity for women in our community and society
The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is “inspire inclusion.” The University of Waterloo is fortunate to have many inspiring female leaders in our community. Vice-presidents, deans, directors, professors, staff, students and alumni who are leaders and mentors. Many had mentors along the way -- someone who inspired them and pushed them to succeed.
I asked a few of the many inspiring female leaders at Waterloo to share the significance of mentorship within their personal and academic success.
