International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8th, celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
The IWD theme this year is “Give to Gain”, encouraging a mindset of generosity and collaboration. When we share our knowledge, resources, and opportunities with our communities, we create a more supportive and interconnected world for women.
This year, we wanted to shine the spotlight on four TCU women who exemplify this concept.
