National Women's History Month
Mission Statement: MTSU's National Women's History Month programming recognizes, promotes, and celebrates
women's contributions and causes by providing education and entertainment from a feminist
perspective that emphasizes cultural transformation to achieve social justice and
women's empowerment.
The National Women's History Month Committee coordinates programming each academic year, including an opening ceremony, keynote speaker, and featured presentations
Events are held throughout the year and announced through the NWHM calendar and flyers posted on campus, though the majority are held in March and announced via our annual NWHM Calendar. To receive a copy of the calendar, contact the June Anderson Center office at jacwns@mtsu.edu or 615-898-5812.
