March is a time to honor the achievements, resilience and impact of women across generations.

This year, members of the Black Staff and Faculty Organization (BSFO) and the President’s Advisory Committee for the Status of Women (PACSW) are celebrating Women’s History Month under the theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” The groups are also embracing the call to action from International Women’s Day (March 8) with the theme: #AccelerateAction!

PACSW and BSFO are joining forces to host events in Oakland, at UCPath and online to help UCOP colleagues build connections, learn from each other and find inspiration.
