For the last 27 years we have sponsored a Women’s History Month Lecture Series. Held in March of each year, the month-long lecture series brings local and nationally recognized scholars and performers to campus to give public lectures or performances on women’s issues. These events give University of Texas at Arlington students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the Arlington community, an opportunity to hear interesting speakers and to engage in informal dialogue about important gender-related issues.
