Celebrating Women’s History at Georgetown
We celebrate the many contributions of our women students, faculty and staff to our university community and society at large, and recognize the broad range of teaching, scholarship and advocacy at Georgetown that advance women’s history and equality.
Women’s History Month
The U.S. Congress first designated March to be Women’s History Month in 1987. Georgetown joins the nation in recognizing the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields — and joins the world in recognizing women’s global impact on International Women’s Day on March 8.

Title IX Symposium (Mar. 15-16)
Last year, the nation marked the 50th anniversary of the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the most comprehensive law passed by Congress to achieve full gender equity. The Title IX Symposium will explore whether Title IX has fulfilled its promise. What gaps in gender equity in education still persist, and where do we go from here at Georgetown to achieve the ideals of this landmark legislation?
