A vital part of our mission is leadership. LEADERSHIP IS MAKING CHANGE.<\/strong>
This month: Celebrating Women’s History Month<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Following our Leadership is Making Change post<\/a>, which was written in response to the many stories of racial inequality that plague our country, the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development at Worcester State University made a vow to provide support for and education about marginalized cultures and identities. Marginalized populations<\/a>\u00a0are defined as “groups and communities that experience discrimination and exclusion (social, political and economic) because of unequal power relationships across economic, political, social and cultural dimensions.”\u00a0\u00a0The Making Change<\/em> series features monthly posts that share historical backgrounds, educational resources (to read, watch, and listen), and activism opportunities centered around a specific culture, identity, or community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our goal with our March post is to Celebrate Women’s History Month. In honor of this month we celebrate the contributions of remarkable women in history and present day. \u00a0Too often, women were unsung heroes of our history and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. This month we are proud to celebrate the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built our world, acknowledging these successes to be as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We strive everyday to educate our students to be impactful campus and community leaders. Leadership begins with education. This resource list is not exhaustive, but will provide the opportunity to begin the journey of educating yourself and those around you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How History Erases Women <\/strong><\/a>
Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, TEDTalk<\/em>
Today, more than ever before, we have more publicly active women participants in leadership. The women leaders of today stand tall on the shoulders of women past. But where are these women in our history books, in our stories? What if we are currently living in a Woman Era, a period of women leadership? What do we need to do to ensure that those presently making history in this Woman Era won\u2019t be erased? We travel with her through history as 32 year old Bogolo Kenewendo, former Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry in Botswana, reflects on incredible women who have laid the foundation for today\u2019s Woman Era and challenges us to ensure that the Woman Era stands the test of time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Remember The Ladies: The Importance of Women’s History <\/strong><\/a>
Emily Krichbaum, TEDTalk<\/em>
Currently, less than 10% of American history curriculum focuses on women. And, of that 10%, 60% highlights American women as the helpmate and domestic partner. How are these selected historical examples shaping the attitudes of young boys and self-esteem of young girls? What would happen if we included more and more diverse stories of American women in American history–and young girls begin to see themselves in the curriculum they study?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Moment of Lift
