SMWC celebrates Women’s History Month with upcoming events
As originally founded as an academy for women by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and her five companions in 1840, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) has always valued the empowerment of women. In celebration of Women’s History Month, SMWC will host multiple events to highlight the contributions of women to history, culture and society. Sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, weekly events will be held on campus for students to engage in.
Women of the Bible
March 6 and March 21 – 11:45 a.m.
Le Fer Hall – PK Parlor
Presented by Sister Jan Craven and Sister Paula Damiano
There are many women whose names appear in the Bible. There are many women who are mentioned but not by name. Explore two women’s lives who may represent the story of any woman in this world today. All were real women, whose lives we may resonate with – women who struggled to be understood by their communities. Come and discover something about two women who have gone before us and find out what links us with them!
Women Leadership Panel
