Women's History Month banner

We invite you to share your ideas for activities, events, and speakers for this year's celebration.

Each year the Women's Studies Program and Presidential Commission on the Status of Women sponsor a poster calendar to advertise the events that take place during Women's History Month in March. We are now accepting submissions for activities, events, and speakers to include on this year's poster calendar. The poster is an excellent publicity resource as it is widely distributed to campus offices and buildings as well as to the local community. Additionally, if your event/activity is accepted for inclusion on the poster calendar, we will also include it on the online version of the WHM calendar of events.

We particularly encourage you to submit events/activities that relate to this year's WHM theme, "Women's Voices/Women's Visions." However, depending on the space available, we will consider including any events that are related to women.

If you would like to submit an event/activity for possible inclusion in this year's WHM poster calendar, please complete the Activity Proposal Form and return it to Rebekah Kohli in Reavis Hall, Room 103, or email it to rkohli@niu.edu. The deadline for calendar submissions is Monday, December 14, 2009.

Please note that while we will help publicize your events and the Women's Studies office can offer suggestions for event locations, we do not have the staffing power to organize or plan your events.

If you have any questions or would like additional information about the WHM poster calendar, please don't hesitate to contact Rebekah Kohli.  We look forward to receiving your submissions!
