A Year-Long Commemoration and Celebration
Uncovering the history, recognizing the change-makers, moving forward together
This fall marks 150 years since women could enroll as Northwestern undergraduate students. As we collectively commemorate this milestone — and the women, womxn and gender-diverse individuals who have shaped Northwestern — we have many opportunities to reflect, be inspired, and learn from each other. The 150th anniversary of women at Northwestern is for everyone.
