<https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=w44Oh3X1PEWqzcradIy5gA&ref_id=CnNwBgTvuUyJ9M9wyn0aCA>
March is Women’s History Month <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=w44Oh3X1PEWqzcradIy5gA&ref_id=CnNwBgTvuUyJ9M9wyn0aCA> (WHM), and Baruch College is excited to recognize the achievements of our amazing female students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We are also proud of our legacy: Women have been students at Baruch since the very beginning–more than 90 years ago when coeducation was still a radical concept.
As part of our celebration, the Baruch community is invited to nominate a student, faculty or staff member, or an alumna for Phenomenal Woman recognition. Submit your nomination using the form before Wednesday, Mar. 17, at 11:45 pm.
For more information on the month-long celebration, read President Wu’s Women’s History Month message to the community <https://pmail.baruch.cuny.edu/PoliteMail/default.aspx?page=v6p2kdKMHEqRzrD-MNjVUQ&ref_id=CnNwBgTvuUyJ9M9wyn0aCA> , which includes a bit about Baruch’s first female students, a link to the roster of WHM events, plus a curated list of short videos showcasing the invaluable contributions of women across the College.
