Charlotte Celebrates International Women’s Day (IWD) March 11
Each year, the UNC Charlotte Office of International Programs cordially invites members of the UNC Charlotte campus community to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) on a date in March.
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements at UNC Charlotte, specifically promoting individuals who work toward international collaboration and understanding.
The first International Women’s Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
The 2025 UNC Charlotte International Women’s Day in person celebration will take place on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The IWD celebration will recognize individuals involved in fostering international understanding and collaboration, nominated by their peers.
You are invited to nominate someone who has made an impact locally or globally to be recognized and celebrated on this special day.
