Belmont will kick off its Women’s History Month celebration on Monday, March 11 as students return from Spring Break. Throughout the month, a number of events will be hosted by different organizations across Belmont’s campus designed honor the determined legacies of women and the powerful change they inspire.
This year’s theme is Radical Champions: Celebrating Women who Advocate for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and focuses on women who have been on the front lines of advocating for those whose voices are often minimized or ignored.
“It has been amazing to see how departments and organizations across campus join together to lift up the often-forgotten voices and overlooked contributions of women,” said Heather Daugherty, Belmont minister and Women’s History Month co-chair. “I also appreciate the ways that we are able to lift up the work that is being done by the incredible women who are faculty and staff on this campus. Highlighting their work throughout Women's History Month allows students to see what an opportunity they have to walk alongside and learn from these women during their time at Belmont.”
Events range from screenings of popular films directed by or starring women to panels and chapels featuring prominent women at Belmont, in Nashville and beyond. The entire Belmont community is encouraged to attend any Women’s History Month event, many of which will offer WELL-Core credit.
“My hope is that everyone can find one event to attend during Women's History Month so that they can learn and celebrate the work of the radical champions among us,” said Daugherty.
