Celebrating Women’s History Month at Fletcher
At Fletcher, Women’s History Month is about more than honoring influential women throughout the ages. It’s about celebrating the gifts and contributions of all women – past, present, and future.
This March, you’ll have the opportunity to hear Fletcher faculty, alumnae, and students reflect on women who have changed the course of history and those who are making an impact every day, bridging the gender divide, and working to create a just and equitable society for all.
