On behalf of the ASU Women’s Coalition, the HERstory Committee and more than 30 student organizations and departments across all four campuses and ASU Online, we welcome you to the 2021 ASU Women’s HERstory Month. Over the past several months, we have collaborated with a multitude of organizations and departments to bring you a month like no other. With events ranging from Watch Parties to learning about Womanism, we know this year’s Women’s HERstory month will be one of a kind!
This year’s HERstory month promises to be even bigger and we can’t wait to celebrate what it means to be a woman with all of you. In collaboration with ASU Athletics, USGs, faculty organizations and many more ASU partners, more than 65 events will be hosted virtually, in hybrid settings and in-person. To end our month, WoCo's signature event of the year, the Badass Women’s March, will take the place of the annual Badass Block Party. With one Women's March per campus, we hope you'll join us in highlighting the inspirational women at ASU, and uplift the voices of those that have been historically oppressed. We can’t wait for you to see all of the amazing things we have planned. Go Devils!
