March is Women’s History Month: Check out PACSW’s events
International Women’s Day started in 1911 in Europe, but the beginnings of Women’s History Month date from a celebration in Santa Rosa, California in 1978. It is appropriate, then, that the President’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women, aka PASCW, continues to do great work to promote the interests of women in the UCOP community here in California.
This year the theme of International Women’s Day is “Inspire Inclusion,” and towards that, PACSW has planned several events promoting networking and connection that are open to all UCOP staff.
March 12: Oakland PACSW International Women’s Day Party
Please join PACSW at the Broadway Conference Center in Oakland from 3 – 4:30 p.m. We will make friendship bracelets for International Women’s Day while enjoying light refreshments.
March 13: UCPath Center PACSW International Women’s Day Party
Please join PACSW at UCPath Room 2143 from 12 – 1:30 p.m. We will make friendship bracelets for International Women’s Day while enjoying light refreshments.
