As we step into the month of March, we are not only welcoming the warmth of spring but also embracing the significance of Women's History Month. We take great pride in acknowledging the invaluable contributions of women throughout history, recognizing their achievements, and honoring their resilience. Within the W.A. Franke Honors College, we are privileged to have outstanding women scholars and leaders who contribute immensely to our campus community and beyond!

Applications for the 2026 Feminist Symposium are now open!

In honor of Women’s Herstory Month, “Feminist Symposium: Academic Freedom and Acts of Resistance” will be coming to the University of Arizona's campus March 27-28! This FREE symposium, formed by a bad-ass team of feminists from WGSS in collaboration with Undergraduate Research in the Franke Honors College, will especially center folks who have never spoken at an academic conference. We will feature exciting local activist keynotes, student org tabling, craftivism activities, and MORE! We welcome abstracts for panels, round-tables, art or poster displays related to academic freedom, student/campus activism, counter-movements (such as anti-colonial research), and other related topics 

Applications will remain open through March 9, 2026. Please direct questions to wgrc@arizona.edu with 'Symposium' in the subject line.
