Faculty, staff, and students are invited to participate in UC San Diego's Women’s Herstory Month Celebration throughout March. This important observance and celebration of diversity will feature a wide-range of programs focused on the many contributions of women in history, culture, and society. This year’s theme is "Feminist Transformations.”
We invite our community to reflect on the possibilities to create change that exist after an unprecedented year. From systemic racism and injustices, to the public health crises, to the gendered impacts of school and childcare closures, to everything beyond and in between, how do we use this moment to imagine a better future?
We hope that you will participate in UC San Diego’s commemoration of Women’s Herstory Month. One of the many programs taking place will be A Bold Policy Agenda for Work-Family Justice and Gender Equity During COVID-19 and Beyond. To register for this event and to learn more information about Women’s Herstory Month programs, please visit the Women’s Center web page.
In recognition of this annual event, two hours of administrative leave with pay have been approved for employees to attend a UC San Diego Women’s Herstory Month activity. Supervisors, upon request, may approve the use of such leave when the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job duties or patient care.
