Cal State Fullerton celebrates Women’s History Month in March with a series of events and activities that elevate women’s stories through dialogue and reflection.
Women’s history was originally recognized during a weeklong celebration, but in response to growing advocacy across the United States, Congress passed a 1987 resolution that officially recognized March as Women’s History Month. Additionally, International Women’s Day is March 8 and is celebrated across the globe.
Throughout the month, Cal State Fullerton faculty, staff and students will have opportunities to participate in programs that support and highlight the experiences and contributions of women throughout history and in the present.
Visit the Women’s History Month 2026 website for the complete list of programming, including:
