International Women’s HERstory Month 2024-04-02T18:26:09+00:00
Highline Women in Action Newsletter

 

As Highline College celebrates March as International Women’s HERstory Month, we find ourselves reflecting on the contributions of the remarkable female-identified employees who have dedicated decades of their lives to shaping our institution. Their commitment, tireless efforts and leadership have left a mark on students, staff, and throughout the campus. We extend our deepest gratitude and love for these ladies!

Women are resilient, and too often their voices go unheard and accomplishments unrecognized. With that, Women’s Programs & WorkFirst is thrilled to shine a spotlight on the women who have dedicated 20+ years shaping all realms of our community: administrative, student support and instructions.

We’re here to share their stories, guiding wisdom, celebrate milestones, and honor the leaders before us. This is an opportunity for us to amplify women’s voices, challenge stereotypes, celebrate success, and continue to advocate for gender equality.

Please join us in celebrating our Highline Women in Action!
