What is the Women's Month Celebration?

International Women’s Day is March 8th, and UBWA has an annual Women’s Month celebration to bring this holiday to Ohio State's campus. Our mission is to come together to celebrate women by uplifting, educating, and discussing topics centered around women. The Women's Month Committee has created a full month of events focused on the themes of wellness, education, community, and empowerment.
