REFLECTIONS FROM THE INTERIM VICE PRESIDENT FOR EQUITY AND INCLUSION<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greetings everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March days are here and it\u2019s time to recognize and celebrate Women\u2019s History Month. It is important to take a step back and highlight the contributions of women in our society, our families, and our community at St. Olaf College. This month, I encourage you to join our roundtable conversation with Women in Leadership on March 19<\/strong> to hear about the opportunities, challenges, and successes of each featured leader. Please see the flier below on event details and who will be featured!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a wonderful month!<\/p>\n\n\n
