Sheridan Student Union and Sheridan’s Wellness Committee celebrates…
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
International Women's Day is held March 8, a global day created to raise awareness and celebrate the achievements of women, girls, Two-Spirit and non-binary people, and actively advocate for a more gender-inclusive and equitable world. This year, we want to celebrate the power, resilience and stories that exists within our own Sheridan Community.
Many students, faculty members and staff have remarkable stories of triumph, successes and challenges and together we want to recognize folks at Sheridan who are helping pave the way for a brighter future for us all.
