There will also be several on-going annual events held during the month:

Her-Story Celebration: For each day during the month of March, subscribers to the Her-Story Project Listserv will receive an essay character sketch, photo journal or poem submitted by one of the members of the listserv, reflecting on specific women or aspects of womanhood.  Our celebration is unique in that each day’s tribute is composed by an RU student, staff member, administrator or faculty member.

Circle of Life / Intergenerational Dialogue:  On Wednesdays during March, an inner circle of women from one generation will speak to an outer circle of participants from other generations about their life experiences and what it is like to be a woman in a particular age group. Participation is open to all members of the RU community.

Paradigm Shift: Each year this concert celebrates Women’s History Month by featuring original creative dance works by emerging female choreographers from the RU Department of Dance.
